Poem

Once upon a midnight dream
Of fantasy in flight
I fought the degradation 
Of a dragon’s appetite

My heart was beating stronger 
As it broke my fevered brow
Breaking my resistance
To the meekness of a bow

All my dreams of darkness
Were the dungeons of my soul
The sad and somber wreckage
Of a savage in control

Soul, I cried, refuse me
In the pattern of my sin
Help me to be stronger
In my struggle for a win

Favor me with courage
In the carnage of my fight
Clear my path of passage
In a prefatory light

Strengthen my compassion
For the suffering I see
Flip the side of sorrow
For a joyful jamboree

Teach me thy persistence
In the moments I am weak
Nurture me with patience
For the blessings that I seek

Hasten thy forgiveness
In the mercy of thy way
Chasten my resistance
To the truth I must obey

Set me on a higher plane
To lift the needy poor
Raise me on the ladder 
Of the blessings you restore

Teach me of the promise
And the purpose of a man
Lead me in the practice
Of a wiser master plan

Help me to be humble
On the highest mountain peak
Catch me when I stumble
In the knowledge that I seek

Thank you, soul, for teaching me
The truth about my quest
Strengthen my conviction 
To be equal to the test.
