|
We scaled |
|
the face of reason |
|
to find |
|
at least one sign |
|
that would reveal |
|
the true dimensions |
|
of life... |
|
lest we forget. |
|
And maybe it's easier to withdraw from life, |
|
with all of its misery and wretched lies, |
|
away from harm. |
|
We lay |
|
by cool, still waters |
|
and gazed |
|
into the sun. |
|
And like the moth's |
|
great imperfection, |
|
succumbed |
|
to her fatal charm. |
|
And maybe it's me who dreams unrequited love, |
|
the victim of fools who watch |
|
and stand in line away from harm! |
|
In our vain pursuit |
|
of life for one's own end |
|
will this crooked path |
|
ever cease to end? |
