"a White Knight!"

Traveling along these celestial corridores

Through the spectrum, called life ~

Brought forth by a birth....

Bourn, for this very purpose in time?

A revelation revealed, by the hands of imperatives, "Faith!"

These reverent realities, of a humbled soul ~ 

Manifest amid a myriad of moments....

Symbolic twinklings, of love laced stardust

Glitter from above, sprinkled before my eyes

This, amid glories impeccable Kingdom!

A binding cup now poured upon my sight

From within the throne of, "Everlastings Light" ~

Turning such truths towards this vision, I cry

For I am caught betwixt, the flesh and the spirit....

Knowing that everyday, I must face this evil, or so it seems

As Paul the Apostle once did upon the streets of Rome

O' wretched man that he was; bound in this body of frailties....

Do I envite it; this calamity of darkness' dynasty?!

Led by the prince of junapers himself; the fallen angel

Spreading his tear stained wings, upon the face of the earth

The valley of his own, shadow of death!

No, I would rather that these bindings sometimes

Did they ever exist....

But the truth is, they cannot hide; will not hide?

Nor, now neither can I, from their constant lasciviousness

Compelled it so clearly seems...."Chosen!"

While these principalities of pains provincial night

Transduce their tides of disease, amid their final days....

This plague; like a herd of lacerating locust

Devouring the unsuspecting fields of, innocent humanity!? ~ {Cont}
