When Lions Cry Out Their Courage From
Within The Dark
Conjurers claim to grant concessions
that as legend tells us
were once sought in the Old Testament.
Illusionists bewitch
with poised innuendo
only resembling what we should
embrace,
summed up with such force
within the sphere.
In the meantime, we seek
to read and hear
things of great importance.
What we need is
a free heart, free wings,
not to be taken for granted.
We look forward to the truth of all
matters,
spoken with hands that weave,
shame no longer exposed.
We as lions burning through shadows
with our golden eyes,
embellished and enlarged,
piercing,
benefitting from early training
of guarding from monsters
that which is extant.
True change happens
when we are no longer
afraid of the dark.
