At the gate of the fortress, yet again, I wait. Peril lurks, and only here, shelter I seek.
The key is His name, whispered in awe. Beautified with mercy, bestowed and inherent.
The gate yields.
My heart too, gasping: Glorious is He, Lord of this fortress and kingdoms vast, yet reared me from nothingness,
a short distance traveled, between beginning and end. Spiraling stairways present, and mirror the turmoil within.
Echoing assurances of compassion and mercy keep my heart from piercing through my throat.
I trip on roots of errant thoughts, I cultivated. Keep steady; ascend.
The Owner of this fortress, must also be its King. To Him I flee. Help me. Hide me from Thee!
His judgement reigns supreme, today and tomorrow. A reckoning complete, with witnesses, whose tongues do not speak.
Another audience, I plead. Seven signs and six of His Names point towards Him.
Admitted to the inner sanctuary, dazzled by the Light, sole devotion I declare. Of others benefitting me, I confess my despair.
"A wayfarer who is lost, show me the way! Choice companions appoint for me, lest I stumble or stray. Of those who would estrange me from You, shield me, I pray."
