And, lying there, I felt my face
Was screwed up in a knot,
And all because a lack of grace
Had put me in a spot.
A river of the blackest bile
Had run the length of me,
And, having gone the extra mile,
It emptied in the sea.
No sooner, though, than I released
My face’s muscles’ hold
Than all my inner turmoil ceased,
Which let my light unfold.
And now it’s shining from each pore,
And may it do for evermore.
