A Requiem
as my life dances cross a veil not seen
i lie down my worth on breath that fades
with hope now gone to solve errs long past
notes symphonically fill the pages
of days observed through shadowed glass
muted childhood musings seem to glow
charge hard! at adolescence's cusp
the hours fill with hoards of fury
comes now the strength in freedom
feelings mount in shades of red
she encompasses my life with deep hues
of joy at love's genesis
growing in multiples and steady the pace
combining in wisdom that passes through
youth, grinning youth, flourishes the front
for the amber arrives and peace ensues
gentle is the dusk as days now slow
will i be of whom they speak?
the dark is upon as my love went before
peace has settled, what shall await?
troubled no more, willfully i go
