Whippoorwill
Along a path of darkness trod
Step by step I silently plod
Wondering if I am going anywhere at all
Or is it all just a grand and glorious fall?
I am told there is no such thing as seeing
I am told there is only a blind believing
Yet there is another voice much more silent still
The peaceful sound of the whippoorwill
Telling me there is much, much more
The sound does vibrate into my heart
I feel a splitting, the atoms part
Then there is nothing but brilliant, brilliant light
More energy than I could ever, ever conceive
It is no longer night
Within a valley of decision
I faced the laughs and all the derision
Yet determined to set my face like flint
I opened my eyes; I refused to squint
I see the most beautiful thing I ever have seen
