What Events Will Be Revealed
Let all clouds vanish as snow
and blueness reign as no winds blow;
let creation astonish me with its mystery,
pushing me further until I knock down every boundary.
What I will find should be precious and rare,
like diamonds that have been polished to glare...
this is not that visionary dream I'll pursue half way,
and then I'll give up when temptation makes me go astray.
Strength will challenge me, slowing me down,
making me weary not being able to wear that crown;
never counting the hundreds of jewels that make it glitter and shine,
or the pounds of fine gold that took to built it with hands racing with time.
Any thief would snatch it away and hide from himself and others,
and perhaps his guilt won't affect his greed or the slyness of his act;
would a sound head steal it to appease his foolish urge that seldom satisfies...
failing to see what events will be revealed beyond that beautiful and fine artifact?
