In the stagnant safety of my lower levels The dangerous daylight claws and creeps To remind my drifting mind of life and time For a single moment a spark of desire flares Bright and brilliant in its piercing cry Calling to the husk of He I do so inside reside Action stand and strive for more fight for life Shed the shackles the lovingly have held me Wipe clean established programmed thoughts Step out into the world from which you hide That brilliant spark and its thoughts flicker Fade and my numbness this locked away safe Unfeeling state create the familiar lack of need Brush away such desire and as I sit more time more life and days pass by but still the day tries.
