Divine Mortals
Never have I had fear for flying darts
My tingling thoughts of the world was weird
Many told of nature's hard hazards
Beauties I saw instead of dirties
So was my heart as a dove
Peaceful in a world full of fools
Like sunshine in sneaky shadows
No damnation I saw possible until that occasion
The first pain and I felt deeply-destroyed
Scattered and shattered like wild wind
Caged in red-rage I roared "betrayal"
And so I kept my territory terrorizing every threatening tare
Until the rainy day at the bar
A galaxy, a group of glitters I could not deter
In varying robes, different sizes and heights
To and fro they laughed in ecstasy
For me breathe ended, for with them my rage was for a wait
All I could believe was that the divines were here and near
The word "angels" seem to appeal
They were perfect and I gave my seal
You may be mortals but you're my divines
Nights and days with them now and all I see are divine mortals.
