I was a prisoner in an ivory
Tower of bones with two glass windows of eyes...
Enraged, I cursed the keeper til I was spent...
Alone and afraid I turned from the windows and began to search the dark recesses of the tower!
I was amazed to find a stranger there... He told me he had been there all the while! I had not found him for I had been too busy at the windows. I supped with Him... He gave me strength, and all wisdom I could contain - He warmed my heart, taught me love... and set me free!
I returned to the Tower to make it a cathedral... so that He would abide with me...
I am now no longer alone as He is my guest and we shall remain together even after the Tower crumbles into dust...
