...what if I fall?

What if I cry?

-- and if I get scared?

[and an Answer came, it comes, shall coming e'er be]

Yea, though thou walkest the valley of the shadow of Death,
among the mortals and their kind, yet I AM with thee;
no Hell canst hold thee 'gainst thy will,
no torment can eternal be, for there I AM also.
Though thou travelest far enough
to lose sight of th'Beginning Bright entire,
or yet no more can hear the echoes of th'creating Word
but only the slow sad strain of the deepest note
in all the worlds
an it soften and die at last,
still I AM there, with thee.
Rememb'rest thou, a blink away, outside the world
I AM await for thee to come back home,
and weep no more, but to thy Duty hew.

angel {in a still, small voice}: ... 'k.

{sfx: the angel falls. the angel cries. the angel is scared.
But Their rod and Their staff, Their cup and Their grail,
they comfort him, and he sets about the Task appointed,
to labor there 'til all the worlds be new.}

Dave, because, remember, male and female created They us, in Their image,
complete down to the admixture of Creepy Stalker Parent running through.
So shiver quietly in your bed, until the Sandman come to comfort you!

ps: this started with just the title and questions. but it escalated quickly.

pps: iambic pentameter is peculiarly soothing to attempt to write in
