Away Thou Goest

Pass me by, oh you who speak with silver tongue, no words to keep who doth appear to be so sweet with honey voice and whispers deep. Who tempts me as I try to fly to spread my wings toward the skies with promises and fantasies that turn to ice and quickly freeze. Turn now away, round corner go and ease my pain, for I am old deceive me not, this day must end open the door to peace again. Written on 7/29/2007
