The Power To...

I woke from a sleep of the sweetest dream peace.

No clock buzz stirred, soft my vision un-blurred

Within my ears peeled a bell. But no other heard.

The universe then whispered.

“As you wish. Make it so.”

A rush beyond things any mortal could know.

My mind a blaze through my eyes grew a glow.

I took from the world without delay.

All the treasure and riches

May they shimmer, shine, roll, or fly.

All the pleasure of sensation.

From those kept in darkness hidden.

To the fully exposed, and the fully forbidden.

With the power to suspend the wages of sin.

I abandoned moderation.

To taste in full the flesh.

Never before had an incline to crime.

If it craved time.

Like a bank, I held up minute for an hour.

My heart no more the master of me.

Neither God high in his tower.

In and out of the world and all it withheld from me.

It now bends like string to my power.

Strength needed I grew.

Wisdom of every age.

Everything I now know.

Then again came the whispers, asking just.

“Do you have the POWER to let it all go?"

Phenomenal cosmic power….itty bitty living space.
