Redemption of the Core



Sitting silently in the night watches
I weep profusely for a sense that matches
Sipping the tears from my eyes
Clarity lifts in the core's eyes

A shout for redemption in the mental splash
Rein in the chaos of my core before I crash
A moment of the intense quest for sight
The beam splashes and gives the core new sight

Then the lucid moment of redemption
liberates the core to its whims
Like the eagle beyond the summit I sour
Embracing the serene greatness of my new habitat
