Did you really think that the sunrise would bless?
Yes, I did
Every facet of creation, celebrated in holiness?
Yes, I did
I took it as a promise, made to a child
A fulfillment coming in the afterwhile
Like golden rays of a cosmic smile
Yes, I did
Did you really expect to be edified?
Yes, I did
With a conscious climb up the peaks of a mountainside?
Yes, I did
I guessed that doubters would find themselves lost
And those who were able to shoulder the cost
Would inherit the enlightenment of better thoughts
Yes, I did
Did you come here, with a heart laid bare?
Yes, I did
A penitent seeker freed from worry and care?
Yes, I did
But now in this moment, empowered and free
I realize that the gifts were always inside of me
To be cleansed and delivered from need
Yes, I did
Did you realize that this ritual was a reminder?
Yes, I did
An exercise to clear the path of a wanderer?
Yes, I did
This act of love was always pure in effect
A demonstration meant to focus on the object
Of a sacred rite founded by the architect
Yes, I did
Did you read about the glory of a footrace?
Yes, I did
Depicted in lessons of forgiveness and grace?
Yes, I did
If that was truly your master’s intent
Then there is no cause to rudely dissent
When you heed the words written in this covenant
Yes, I did
Did you step across the boundary with confidence?
Yes, I did
A bold completion of the sacrifice and penitence?
Yes, I did
I came here unclean and lacking any sense of worth
But now a brighter day has fallen upon the earth
A lifting of this burden, a mighty mortal curse
Yes, I did
Did you find yourself at last reclaimed and right?
Yes, I did
No longer banished into the realm of an eternal night?
Yes, I did
The change is one perhaps, impossible to perceive
But is an aroma that brings a prize to receive
A scent of cardamom, carried on the breeze
Yes, I did
Did you wonder over names on the scrolls?
Yes, I did
Apostles called from ink stains on the rolls?
Yes, I did
Those who summon the spirit of redemption
Will have a reason to resist temptation
Their faith will be a much greater sum
Yes, I did
Did you hear the hour struck by a timepiece?
Yes, I did
A jingle of rings, dangling with keys
Yes, I did
This clue is given so that you may repent
And hear the appeal which was holy and reverent
A claim no conqueror could hope to invent
Yes, I did
Did you offer up yourself in a trade for life?
Yes, I did
A better bargain than to battle with daily strife?
Yes, I did
Peace will come as a prophetic award
A release from the judgment of a sword
A code carried on angel wings, spread to soar
Yes, I did
