Goddess of Light
Patience left me at supper,
Fools entered my head
Poison's in a cup, a
slow and deadly thing to get
Goddess of light surrounds
The table with glowing eye
On dwarf as horse she mounts
Gives me time for one last cry
Then she speaks with fierce command
I listen up in silent fear
She says the end is close at hand
Can I hear it coming near?
"Why?" I ask in trembling voice
A smile appears on face of light
"You left us little choice,
Since you are in full command of
every line you write."
"You've reached the limit any man may ever reach
No chance for us to spoil your way
Nothing left for us to teach."
That is what I heard her say.
I gulped, and laughed, and died
Right there at the table.
During supper, during night.
Never knew I'm able.
