Eternal bough

On a dark dune,
I dance
to the devil’s tune
For my sinful trance,
death to befortune.

By a perfect rescue,
death, I am spared
So I take place,
on the eternal bough.

Real
are my fears
Serpent's still
at my heels

An artful ploy
Screwtape to deploy
I am his
favoured toy

I dance away,
a foolish way.
Back to that place -
the dark dune and devil’s tune

Grace in abundance
I am given
a second chance
back to my place
on that eternal bough
