Childhood's cloak now falling
All protection fleeing
faced with bolts of lightning
of adult temptation
All that's precious dropping
from long night to dawning
murky quicksand calling
dark depression warning
Wading out from under
bracing legs to wander
seeking fresh beginnings
shedding heavy pinnings
Yet dark looms the thunder
fear assuring blunders
tripping 'gain asunder
missing hope and wonder
Courage quickly thinning
Brain and arms fast spinning
Memories of sinning
Devil's red lips grinning
Hot the soul is searing
then a small spark springing
in the breast imprinting
words from earth's beginning
Knees now weaken bending
then a clanging ringing
Sudden bursts of singing
clouds of heaven brimming
Messages now pouring
from above on soaring
wings of angels bidding
to the greatest wedding.
