***

the Creator calls the Dark Messiah into waking
a shadow shaped for salvation
a flame born in the hush between worlds

he walks among trembling hearts
until he meets a woman of quiet fire
and something unnamed stirs within him

he learns the slow rhythm of tenderness
the way a single touch can unmake fear
the way love softens the iron of destiny

now he stands at the crossroads of soul
mission in one hand longing in the other
humanity waiting love calling
and he must choose which future to lift into the light
