Fire and Light

 
 INSPIRED BY MARCUS AURELIUS

 I Am Fire, I Am Light, I bedazzle the Nights
 Running with the Wind, the wick Ignites
 I catch the Flame and Run with the Stars,
 what Blazes within Always Blazes Afar
 Never Succumb, the Pitfalls are for Adversaries 
 From Stoic to Poet, the Force to Crush the Enemies 
 Meditate upon the Truth, the Fools know no Infinity 
 I Am the Sun the Moon, the Pillars of Philosophy
 Never Waiver, the Source of Life dwells within 
 I Am AURELIUS, this spirit knows know Religion 
 By Courage, I command the Commander Forth
 Never Discouraged, the Celestial Discourse 
 I Am up High, beyond the Dawns of Time
 where the Fetters disperse and the Sword Shines,
 Into the Battlefields of No Man's Land
 where the Helmet and Shield are acquired, -
 Which requires, a Divine Hand
 No Stone Unturned, No Valor, No Victory 
 For what is done, is done for all Eternity 
 Fuel the Flame before it Simmers to Ash
 Unbound by the Crown, Unbound Alas
 Rise and Rise again, just as the Sun
 where Victory is attained, and Death is Dust
 March Inwards for the Holy Land awaits
 No Jerusalem, No Israel, if No Faith 
 and where the Sky meets the Earth -
 there the Blade is Forged from Stone,
 From Fire Comes The Light, From The Light
 I AM REBORN
