The Keeper of the Gates

The gates open at twilight Gates for the strong lost at night The keeper sees everyone that passes by Through the gates of brass and willoughby Tormented souls bereft of sight Under the curse of stolen moonlight Outside the gates are flooded by roohu ghosts A brouhaha of wandering cluster posing as hosts Uninvited by the shining keeper Howling like bitten preys of the ripper Blinded by nebulous smoke that quells Spurning unworthy spirits under spells The keeper bolster the burnished gates of the knight Left are girded soldiers groping for light When the gates opened The keeper questioned the strong soldiers of faith, "Why are you all blind?!..." Soldiers cried, "We were deceived by angels of false faith behind" "I just opened your eyes... Keep your faith in Thee and reach for the skies!"
