Summary: 'Now I will shine for all the world to see.'




Somewhere thinking that darkness is all I am
what do I have to offer?
One of many, loved of few
but too hidden to get a good sight of the world.

Cryptic, mysterious, occult
say I
but often interpreted as distant, snobbish, shy.
My light is masked.

And very well - I didn't want to.
Somewhere thinking that darkness is all I have.
The light is there.
I see. But no-one else wants to know.

So how to open?
Be rid of this flesh so my light can stream
Return to the source
And now I will shine for all the world to see.
