//------------------------------// // Apostate's Creed // Story: Devotionals To A Frozen Goddess // by Undome Tinwe //------------------------------// A gilded cage, made strong with lies A spider’s thread, in crimson shades Her goddess sleeps, and with a sigh  The faithful servant leaves the glade Be vigilant of friend or foe For darkness seeks to snuff out light But Virtue’s folly takes its toll And sometimes Justice can lose sight  And so the Goddess trusts but one To keep her faith, to do her will The heart, the stars, the moon, the sun Are good but she is greater still One day the key will find the space Within the lock that keeps her bound Then all will know her rightful place As one by one the lost are found But now her servant draweths near With tidings from her chain’ed slave So lend your ears, that you might hear Salvation’s call and thus be saved
