He told me: "you
shall be,
a valiant spirit to behold
in the darkening splendor
of twilight.
a light that will reach the pits
of poisoned earth.
a light that will pierce
deep waters.
"for life has confounded most to tears,
and fear has stolen their destinies.
yet i send you:
to impart a glorious hope to them.
i give you the power
to be that
prism of hope."
