- Mournful -

Everything that time or tide may tell
           a silver birch rise in an azure sky
           Moonbeam with its wrinkles and dry mouth
           captivated by the mournful music

           The perception of something eternal
           is in itself a utopia  - 
           but an encouragement on a cloudy day

           Don't tear up the roots or retouch the story
           An eternal escape as the waves
           Morals and principles despite the prize
           The traces of a heart that sought balm
           will be buried in the underworld forever
