never to let tame | B |

so only Cain will remain | D |
- | |
No need to discuss what'll bend | E |
let lesser parts | F |
be crushed till lights rend | E |
Kings of sweet soft and ease | G |
we serve till our end | E |

Where exploring's a sin | H |
and expedience reigns | I |
sacrificing tomorrow | J |
to abolish all pains | I |
- | |
The creators' gift | E |
is twisted into a noose | K |
artfully molding | L |
suffering for personal use | K |

In utter darkness's infinite depths | M |
Am I me | N |
Doubts | O |
the beginning | L |
While underground forces | P |
won't let be | N |

In thunder Wisdom speaks | Q |
When opposites turn equally | N |

suffering's the gate | E |

that are key | N |

could I | T |
ever be rid | E |

Will tension be held | E |
allowing opposites' voice | U |

As a hatch ling tumbling | L |
for help | W |
my beak sings | X |
Bringing other sharp talons | Y |
with encircling stings | X |
as they pry open | Z |
my tormented wings | X |

Why does falcon strike me between the horns | A2 |
while hardened branches stab me with thorns | A2 |
- | |
Slashing shells from my eyes | B2 |
giving light to see | N |
Closer to my trunk | C2 |
they lovingly nudge me | N |
- | |
They aren't adding pain to my pitiful body's rend | E |
Love opens my wings only feathers before I end | E |
- | |
With urgent speed | E |
over distance I climb | D2 |
remembering home | E2 |
beyond realms of time | D2 |
- | |
Pains rain | D |
till rainbows point | E |
where home's found | E |
I finally can see | N |
the path infinitely round | E |
only beaks before | F2 |
I slam into the ground | E |
- | |
Foolishness says | G2 |
the lower can fly to gain | D |
without any guidance or pain | D |
But unknown unknowns will remain | D |
until illuminated in the absence of shame | B |

I've finally emerged to realize | B2 |
without a false bloodied disguise | B2 |
After dissecting wounds | H2 |
most extensive in size | B2 |
that through | I2 |
these shell free eyes | B2 |
I can understand | E |
God's original guise | B2 |

Waves of struggle and peace | J2 |
all meant to remind | E |
if in truth | K2 |
you seek | L2 |
then it's Truth | K2 |
you'll find | E |

Between space | M2 |
where the holy reside | E |
peacefully saying | L |
hold on through high tide | E |
lookup | N2 |
your supported | E |
keep fighting urges to hide | E |
- | |
Befriend the anger used to sear | O2 |
it's your turn to reflect | E |
and become Lights mirror | R |
So rise up | N2 |
be the eagle and the wave | P2 |
that darkness cowers | M2 |
hiding and afraid | E |
Always remembering | L |
you've been empowered | E |
to Bind and to Save | P2 |
