Make yourself worthy of time? <br />Down a narrow path I have surely walked, <br />Guided by angels and demons, <br />Yes I have surely mocked, <br />By these questions at last I unlocked, <br />Answered the devil upon the planes of pain, <br />'Joy is the fire in your vein' <br />In hollow wood began to sing a choir, <br />Dark demons and light angels sang the rain, <br />Down came the pain, the sorrow, the disdain, <br />the blood of the earths heart rang through my veins, <br />The sun Torched my soul and a phoenix I became, <br />Dying soul ashes became the violet flame. <br /> <br />Dancing upon the shadows of endless time, <br />Fear asked, 'what is my true name? ' <br />Shadows I moved through, <br />Faith I leaped through, <br />The tao I spun through, <br />Time ceased to exist, <br />'Pure Joy'<br /><br />Joseph Walden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/timeless-hands/
