Called Out of the Shadows
If eyes knew the path undiscovered and unknown
The mystery and elusion of perfection outgrown
If gloom had wrought an overcast much more dire
And breathed into a man a dream that did not tire
For of men were empty souls with dimmer passages
Addressing their fates with heightened lasciviousness
What was it to loathe to me, to despise all grander
And finding comparable friends to worthless meander
As if I knew what the future had for fearsome sights
To graves that seal but not fulfill fate even slight
We know having our troubles, fears, and dissolutions
The crux that began an misunderstanding met fruition
And ignoring all spiritual to satisfying the current
When pressures riddle us with an onrushing torrent
In my condition, the most reasonable man was kneeling
And deeper qualities would need their own distilling
Undefiled by what seemed unconquered and unfettered
Did these people really think they had it all
together?
I have met hypocrites and liars for the supernatural
Undelighted by their perceptions and heartless
ridicule
What did these men had to proffer for genuine
certainty?
Except to take my money and have power deliberately
No, I do not think I'll join a religion for this and
so
Letting considerations await a fight against a real
foe
Words and philosophy were unworkable and unnecessary
so incomplete and so easy to revise; no reason to
tarry
However, the mind has a way of getting involved in
method
And, trust me, that spirituality can make men intrepid
If it were man alone that could tear down our guards
No, my friend, something reached deeper inside my
heart
My physical condition withered and sleep became random
Somehow, I knew, something more had its own hand in
The illness, the sickness, and humbling made its
retort
Breaking down emotional barriers with limited resort
I was cracked open with everything born outside my
shell
Then I began to collapse inwards as old beliefs
repelled
And began to expand forth from the dust that I had
become
Until, I was enlightened by the heat pulling me home
Faster and faster answers were accumulated and weighed
Answers to the questions never asked when I was afraid
To be bewildered and broken; to be unfinished
internally
And found everything I ever needed in this one Deity
If eyes knew the path undiscovered and unknown
The mystery and elusion of perfection outgrown
If gloom had wrought an overcast much more dire
And breathed into a man a dream that did not tire
For of men were empty souls with dimmer passages
Addressing their fates with heightened lasciviousness
What was it to loathe to me, to despise all grander
And finding comparable friends to worthless meander
