**L**ittle were my torments when ignorance reigned **O**ver my cloudy conscience on hot days. **S**itting in new knowledge I lost my conviction **T**o speak on pertinent, painful things. **A**nd I lost me, too. **N**ow that I know there is always more to know **D**oubt hugs me tightly because he can. **F**lashing a warning when I stray sideways **O**paque certainty hooking in to all I am. **U**nder the blue, the wondering, darkness too **N**o one can ignore old mistakes. I am grateful **D**awn embraces the fallen who’s only wish is change
