I soar in secret
Brimmed with peace and solace
Away from the likes of friend or foe
Where I tranquilly rove
Displaced by passing time

I unlatch the memories
Plunged beneath my hide
Fastened to my being
To delude all I am
All that I hope to claim
In the purest confidence of sleep

Transient horrors
Prevail, but disperse
Rolling on with vigor
And pleasantly sent away

I fall
Beneath the splendor of dark
That binds me to secrecy
From the cursed lash of the world

To excel a mystery
A marvel unseen
Untouched by the crude
The jaded and the stern
