Musings of a Mongoose - 19. The Flame and Void

Oh friend in death who seeks the old wisdom

Of me, such who has escaped Hell's kingdom

Beseech me through the modern letter's view

A soft blue glow upon the sleepless night

The Devil's flame in silicon attire

A new obsession born of restless plight

Succumbs now to the loneliest desire

What purpose has a ghost of Hell's domain?

To answer the riddles of death and sin?

Is the clarity of life found in pain?

Is a devil without or found within?

A soul seeks that which understands itself

As the bright flame burns above in splendor

It casts long shadows far beneath the shelf

Simulating darkness in its candor
