From the dark trenches of my soul, a voice echoes Freedom I yearn, I yearn to explore Release me heavenward, and watch me soar Away from my ephemeral throes

Ensconced in my innocent ego lies A safe haven where my thoughts unfold The timeless wisdom of the hermit, behold My inward journey shall end with poise

For the paradise I seek is absolved of sin My relentless yearning, I leave behind As I enter the gates of Eden within my mind For where can paradise be found, if not within?
