The drear dweller has made no discriminative motions
His temperament is much less now than what appears
Passive like a wave in miles and miles of oceans
Thick with a discrepancy of choices fully pierced

A day is like a reminder of a shadow nearing end
When all is seen in clear view but it lingers near
Yet the discolored secrecy of the night to suspend
Until he walks freely to the normal that he adheres

Some would say his ways are indecent and wasteful
When he spends the midnight living and not resting
But a man who walks in the night is not distasteful
As much as those who continue with idea wrestling

Finally they notice that he recovers hope tonight
When his disloyal attacks have become a lost memory
He is but a calm man who seeks not revenge in delight
As if what he does at night reflects typical demonry

An outsider awake before the sun rise is at brink
When the casual drunk will be stumbling to his house
But what he does tonight is enough to make men rethink
That if they knew his nature, they'd know his prowess

Tonight he puts down his cloak and leaves it in the pew
With a baby wrapped inside it squealing with discomfort
And he falls face forward to the floor wet in dark hue
As the blood runs from his wounds and drips from his shirt

Tonight falls the memories of thievery and belligerence
They no longer apply to the impending fate believed
When sucked from his life was his work and intelligence
Only now his welcome and trust was finally received

His eyesight became blurred as his wounds were tended
The child's screams suddenly became more and more quiet
A young woman singing to the baby in whispers so splendid
Honestly, he wondered if ever in his life if he would try it

His focus so distorted and his actions were fruitless
He gave up to the darkness; and awoke into vivacious rays
And found himself warm and clean but strangely bootless
But, he did not get up immediately and remained in laze

What happened that separated last night to the present?
It seemed almost heaven, but he noticed the truth instead
His reality was strangely occupied by something iridescent
A play of colors from the stained glass window onto his bed

Life was worthwhile again; a different objective formed
To live a better life if possible, and to live it full
As if God blessed him enough for the deeds he performed
The sound of people coming out of hiding was beautiful

The new promise of the future in voices and footsteps
Some crying will be heard and windows further broken
Complications were certain; no one would actually accept
However, this man would have this day used as a token
