I am the one that sets you free.
The one that shows you and lets you see,
The chains of your hearts,
The grandness of your soul.
I am the one that fires your winters
and lights your eyes when they turn cold.
I am the balm for your sores
And the whip that commands
your demons to retreat.
I am the reward for your kindness
And the punishment for your sins.
I am ephemeral
But my memory
is permanently tattooed on your skin.
I am the force inside a quasar beam,
That will light up the darkness
of your darkest dream.
So say my name and unshackle your feet.
