The Gift

Was told was wolf in skin of lamb softness of wool bleating sad deceit to snatch dearest held. Circling jaws to devour found shepherd rise to strength of Lion defending gift to him entrusted to keep forever lit with oil not purchasable after hour flame to guide where eyes can't see key that in two split keyhole won't fit light that half truth half lie won't open gate of Paradise. Beyond furthest star where all is night God's splendor only light that hurts not the eyes where all is love peace and joy forever shut to the unwise unlit.
