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?
