an idea instantly to run through thought only to say
a calmly night ensues swiftly to crowning of the day
it comes down as quickly as you wait
like a shadow in the sun just waiting to fade
a quick ignite, like a moth to the flame
off to the race against an enemy we know as fate
to come to a completion of team energy instead to arrive late
at last to reach a place beyond the grave
a place of sanctuary where there's no conception of hate
I hope it's true for heavens sake
for I pray & hope that epiphany is the one to infinitely save
to commence the beat and gracefully lure me away
