Granted Be a Moment

For all the good ever done
while remaining in the shadows,
granted be entrance to the place
where all begins, non-existence.
For to see the total scheme of things
is well beyond human domain.

Allowed be a moment
with those once known,
who have honorably returned
from the descent and are now
Lords of causes.

Erase just once this sense of shame,
allowed be passage beyond the void,
make this attempt trigger their mercy
and help to bring me back to me.

Allow me to gaze into their eyes
and see the ever present flame
of their two souls joined as one.

Permission be granted to ask,
how they managed not being fooled
by the glare of false light
so totally dominates existence.
