Passage of Time

But for those who seek eternity

For those who yearn prosperity

From this single act of sanity

Will raise you far above humanity

Oh willing host who doth not know

The full desire of this prisoner

You walk where angels fear to go

Thou shalt soon embrace the reckoner

Thy halo of glory, hope's true gage

May prove to be an evil pilgrimage

Something had happened beyond her control

A moment of madness unfettered a soul

That would relish a freedom denied once before

By a desperate nation with it's back to the wall

Within a split second of reading this text

The spirit was free and had fled from its nest

It was eager to grow from this sudden reprieve

And thus in the woman a life was conceived

From the beginning the world was misled

As a baby was born in a monastery bed

The miracle happening here on this Earth

Was perceived as a glorious new Virgin Birth

From the moment in time that baby was born

The sun did now rise on a new Crimson dawn

And the creature just bided its time undiscovered

So safe in the cradling arms of the mother

But for those who seek eternity

For those who yearn prosperity

From this single act of sanity

Will raise you far above humanity
