Glories Past

Once in some part of my past

I knew. 

I knew in moments time

A glimmer of Heaven lived inside.

Not knowing from where strength

or courage came,

Ascending on a celestial plight,

I was high and sane.

I was filled with a love that had power

That was bigger than I.

And who could've seen days in futures hour

The me I loved, the me I left behind?

It is I who sees the once beaming soul

Here now, frustrates in the mold.
