Fast Ascend
I can’t go to work—I’m done.
My real life has just begun.
Oh God, take care of all I need,
So I may serve and plant your seed.
I must go door to door, not hide—
To love them open, not collide.
Not fight with fists, but blaze with light,
To pierce the dark with second sight.
To lift the world back to the throne,
Where Shiva waits, unseen, alone.
I love you, Shiva—come, be near.
Ecstasy is all I hear.
Come in music, come in breath,
In whispers soft or chants of death.
Come through birdsong at my door—
I can’t be silent anymore.
Love, love, love—please come on command,
You are the flame, the final stand.
My last chance to rise and go,
To stars that swirl, not Mars below.
I’ve waited lifetimes in this skin,
Please don’t make me wait again.
No more tearing at my chest—
I’m ready now. I’ve passed the test.
Why do you torture my soul so slow?
Will you ever set me—finally—
free to go?
