FAITH RESTORED

Trapped within the web

Of fickle life

With shadows your only mates

Careful concealed bigotry

Wearing sincere masks

While justice endlessly waits….

Remember,

You’re the sunshine

The life force

The spinner of vibrant dreams

You’re no borrowed ray

Of half-formed light

You’re the fulgent orb that gleams

When the skies are silent
And it’s only your muse singing 
Under the grey blanket

Of your melancholy thoughts 

Remember
To give her your ear 

To let her words soothe you

And lift you up

Into the realms divine

Of triumphant glory

Like a generous, answered prayer

Who is a king 
Without his queen? 
He’s still a king!
And who is a queen 
Without her king?
She's still a queen!
Remember that 

You need no props to your throne
And when the earth 
Seems to slide out 
From under the feet 

All allies seem to have flown
Know, that you're no less 
Never, ever so 

For you are the warrior

The savior

The guardian of timeless truths
And you’ve got the courage

So you stand, and fight, alone!
