Devil’s Hall
I have traveled great distances
I have touched the oceans of both sides
I have climbed mountains and descended caves
I have been to the depths of your canyons and explored your tower
I have come to this place to meet you
I have come to you hall to dine by your side
I have come to thank you for what you have bestowed
I have come grateful for the trials of life for the growing pains
I have traveled to this place to thank you for shaping me
I have walked the paths of stone and ice
I have trudged through the obstacles presented
I have arrived to find that you do not reside in this hall
I have learned that you are not found here on Earth
I have discovered that this place is filled
with too much beauty
with too much love
with too much life
I have observed that you do not exist in this place
I have concluded that you are just a name
one that can not be touched nor truly touch me
I have decided as I burn in this frozen sun
that it is I who I have to thank for the pain
that it is I who made mistakes and learned
that it was I all along and you but an excuse
I shall leave your hall still hungry on my quest
yet full of that which has helped me grow
