-- The Master of a Secret --

John Herlihy

Fortune’ present makes him the master of a secret,

The lord of a world over which he the arch prefect.

The villains within, he has each one now conquered,

Thru the valley of lost hopes, he willingly sauntered.

As a master of the secret, he holds the master key,

Unveiling of the invisible beyond the visible to see.

As bearer of life’s secret, he must now fully uphold,

All of the sacred mysteries Mother Nature ever told.

Closed doors have now opened, visions to partake,

A new life to disclose and a sacred world to create.

Whereas once he was a slave to conflicting emotion,

Now he reaps the benefit of his effort and devotion.

As bearer of life’s secret, he must now never betray,

The mystery that confronts us, its wisdom on display.
