I had finally reached the spot,

My last stopping place, in time and space

From which I could not further go,

Ending of the long stretched tether to my life.

 

Too wounded to go fore or back,

Time had come to end the game;

A judgment call was all that remained

To put a finish to my endless pain.

 

"Dark Angel," I cried the time has come,

The day is here, the hour is now.

I call upon your promised judgment,

To close this overdue account of mine.

 

Weigh all the pieces that were good or bad,

In the balance scale of life and death,

Tell me if I pass or fail, or just break even,

And what will be my determined fate.

 

The Spirit read out of my book and frowned,

Nothing much of merit here, song unfinished.

Seems you failed to live up to your promise,

To scale the heights in worthwhile enterprise.

 

And then he paused, stopped for a moment.

A kindly look upon his face, almost a smile.

There is a note here, inscribed to you by Someone;

"Trying to save the Scotty Duck, you saved yourself."

 

Time you gave is now returned; go, complete your song,

For We have found a way to numb and stop the pain,

That now so tightly grips your heart and mind and soul;

By deleting all that has brought you down, We have set you free.

 

Unfettered thus, there is yet time enough to finish.

To complete your songs of life and love upon this earth,

This time and place, that you have loved so long,

And bye and bye must finally leave, as do we all.

 

There is one condition asked of you, one demand.

In order to set you free from the hurt and pain,

You must surrender all memories of joy and bliss,

A binding trade; of best for worst; of good for bad.

 

It took but an instant to accept my crafted fate;

Fading memories of both this and that, the bargain made;

No thoughts to weigh me down; my soaring spirit now set free,

Her fatal vision lifted from my soul, clean slate to begin anew.

 

So here I am, delivered at last, from all my former pain and joy,

Able to love once more, begin life anew, start my song again;

An older and a wiser man, daring to dream a dream of dreams,

Searching to find or build a new and better castle in the air.
