chapter 35 revelation
Over all my misery, I painted what I knew,
Notwithstanding artistry; I held to what was true-
Marvellous, the moments I had spent beneath her thrall,
Enchanted oh so willingly, enmeshed in magic's shawl;
Moment, then, by moment I'd restore before my eyes,
Opening my misty thoughts, declining all the lies-
Reinstated wonders for accepting as they came,
Yesterday in fantasy; admission without shame.
'twas now my strong intention, to return to lovers' glade
Sing the song complicity had set; temptation bade.
Jubilant, I made my choice and walked the darkened mile,
Onward through the silent pall, imagining her smile,
Until I reached a quiet place encircled by a stream...
Refreshment seeking, here I paused- and wakened from my dream.
Now it seemed my questions were a thing I'd not forgo,
Enchantment is a lovely thing, but man was born to know.
Yes- still I had my memories- and now beheld my foe.
