They visit us in lonliness,
inside our hearts, they long to be
They offer answers to our questions,
answers that before we couldn't see.
They bring all our bad habits up
from the place they dwell
in sorrow and shame,
and cause them to touch our souls
To beg for a space
that they might claim.
They conjure up our fears,
and laugh at the frightening,
Laugh at our tears.
In our wanting and greed
within us they awake
to give what they give
and take what they take.
