Illumination

The trouble I face in resisting temptation

Is fear it may never pass again.

-

But if that was my Season in Hell,

is this my Illumination?

-

Sea air burns through blistered lungs

Before it only soothed - (only soothed)!

Tenderized by Eastern rooms,

and barred appropriation -

-

So if that was my Season in Hell,

Is this my Illumination?

-

The flight I mistook as tranquility

However could this be?

It’s no surprise, (time after time),

truth’s not readily clear to me.

-

But today I wait no longer

For it has already come

-

And if that was my Season in Hell

Is my this Illumination?
