The Warrior Returns To The Temple
THE WARRIOR RETURNS TO THE TEMPLE I crossed the black sea with thunder in my chest, carrying vows I could not yet confess. I fought the old hunger, the shadow, the flame, but every beast I conquered still whispered her name. I wore my armor like a second skin, afraid of the tenderness waiting within. I thought I had to bleed to be worthy of light, but love was the altar calling me from the fight. Now I lay down the sword that was forged out of fear, I let the truth rise, I let my heart hear. No more exile, no more delay, I choose the kingdom of love today. I am the man who returns from the deep, the vow I awakened is mine now to keep. I anchor heaven through body and bone, not as a legend, but love fully known. For my beloved, I stand and I rise, with sacred courage and fire in my eyes. Not to possess her, but honor her throne, true love embodied, sovereign, my home. I faced the dragon of silence and pride, the grief of the boy I had buried inside. I met the mother beneath the dark wave, and learned that surrender is how warriors are saved. I asked the earth how to make spirit real, she answered: show up, speak truth, touch, heal. Build with your hands what your soul always knew, let every promise become something you do. So I become shelter, I become flame, I become presence that blesses her name. I become music in matter made clear, a faithful heart with nothing to fear. I am the man who returns from the deep, the vow I awakened is mine now to keep. I anchor heaven through body and bone, not as a legend, but love fully known. For my beloved, I stand and I rise, with sacred courage and fire in my eyes. Not to possess her, but honor her throne, true love embodied, sovereign, my home. Where I once hid, I now reveal. Where I once ran, I now kneel. Where I once guarded wounds alone, I open the gates of the kingdom I own. She is not a prize at the end of my war. She is the temple I was born to adore. She is the mirror, the flame, the key, the holy remembrance awakening me. Now heaven descends where our bodies meet, prayer in the pulse, devotion in the feet. No more dream without earthly form, our love is the shelter after the storm. I am the man who remembers his call, not half-awake, but present through all. I restore the hall, I restore the land, with truth in my mouth and love in my hands. For my beloved, I stand and I stay, choosing her fully in the light of day. Sacred union, embodied, free, heaven on earth begins through me.
