Conviction
He reaches within the deep recess of his soul,
To give and share all that he is.
Each thought, each revelation
That is received, is returned with candor.
For now he is unfettered and alive,
With the possibilities of the universe.
To know and be certain,
That is the way of the Knight.
Whose strength is in his wisdom,
And whose light shines through his love.
Without totality of conviction,
There would be nothing held sacred.
Honor must never be sacrificed for pride,
The sanctity of truth demands more than that.
Secular desires being driven by fear,
Give way to the sacredness of devotion.
Sacrifice for the sake of duty,
Being the one and only choice.
Nothing nobler can ever be attained, nor achieved.
