The cloaked man

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
The cloaked man stood in the light
He had no soul, he had only fright
He spoke to God and reasoned for the night
God would not listen, for he knew he was right
I stand here he said within your light
And yet you think me dark this night
He said I am a giant to your man
Yet he does not see me like I can
