It is the light
the shadow
the everlasting glory
and the failed victory
that ends without last words
disappearing
into a swirling black hole called
life
It inspires a dream
an ambition
a desire to be above and beyond
superior and more triumphant
than ever before
a vision of a change
And then, in a small, unnoticed corner—
inscribed so delicately into the Earth itself—
where the sun
kisses a flower and it blooms;
where a butterfly
breaks away from its cocoon
and begins its first flight;
Power is the only way
to care
love
respect
give
For no one seems able to see through
the Transparent shield
