I have not seen the light.
It burns
Me but I know
it is around Me
and I cannot feel it
on my skin this fire
Dances without Desire
Dies without Devotion
and wallows in its ashes
for a man
without Faith
knows neither Hope
nor Fear
but the binds of
Mortality does not lift
and excitement fades
with Life, failing
to elicit the possibility
of what may lie
beyond the stars
of time-locked
Existence.
