After The Storm.....

Heaven and Hell came together that night,

One trying to take me perhaps

The other content upon a lesson,

Saving me for later.

They brought their furies with them,

And I saw their faces of death

Seeking for my soul as

I battled for my earthy shell

I played but a pawn in their dark game,

Like Ulysses, no hope, except

That they might tire

And I might not give up before

Gone with a wave and a backward glance

Heaven and Hell retired then

Amused that night, and

Left me there to find my way
