Furthermore

you may deceive 
yourself and believe 
        that the light cannot
give you freedom
     from pain and sorrow
Well, I think that
          you are really 
                   missing the point
Others will walk miles for you
           others will remember 
   what once was
                you will 
learn
       that old truths
can 
     melt 
  the thick icicles
which are blinding you
           obscuring your view
of a new, an altogeher 
              slice of reality
