At the Celebration of Light

 



I knew before I knew. 

  I knew at such an early age. 

      A child bright with the gift of sight. 


Forged not long from that, in many a fire, 

  I shrunk into the ash of ember. 


Blinded, and scarred, I shut my eyes...

  Shut them for a very long time. 


Scared and fleeing, running from

  The memories I had long blacked out 


Denied all the signs, 

  Believed all the lies 

As I journeyed for freedom with-out. 


Yet always emerged, was something 

  Awe-some; 

    Things that could hardly be explained. 


And slowly, the calling brought me back home;

  Turned be about on my one-way train. 


And as I arrived, 

  I remembered so much, 

     Remembered from which I came 


They clapped and they laughed, 

  Threw hands and they grabbed


Me for everything I accomplished on this plain.
