The Rise from Shadow

Shadow and Enchantment lie upon the land. Sheer precipices... keen and heart piercing, slain by bliss and loss, a Joy so great though brief in time... and now a brooding silence upon my Land does lie... a Fleeting thing that brushed my Heart, yet marked in change forever is... I challenge the Fate that lies before... To Unclouded Heavens my Spirit calls, Radiant and Perilous though it may seem, a White Fire Flares within my Soul, It lights my way and gives me Strength... I suffer its touch... it Hurts me not... Rise I will and soar again above Sea and Sky beyond this world... drawn back to thee whence my love hales... I’ll not forget the songs of lament across star lit mires... Grief and Joy engraved in me and from my eyes, do shine... to better understand and better respect, the unpredictability of this life... Though in it all, Love is, and it does Guide... relentless in its ever touch... to show the skyway path that leads from dark to light... my Spirit, made of Imperishable Love, is free to be, beyond the taint and stings of shadows deep... beyond uncounted tears, rejoice I do... I am set free to heal the land... and the Heart does mend...
