Temptation
We’re nearly there now
This cushioned chair
Will stand tall and proud
On the dignified hill.
Just set it here
A glorious throne
Hold up your glass
Hold in your breath
Are you afraid
Of the dark?
It’s not that scary
Trust me and see
Then darkness sweeps
We’re steeped in night
A seeping wave
Consumes.
Look all around
How far can you?
Except for the bright
Across the line
A clear divide
I hear your heart
Tick and whir
Finally stop
Relax and breathe
You’ll learn to live
And see it’s not that
Bad
Look up the burning
Ring of light
A ghostly halo
Saint of night
