Murky thoughts within a silent night Wind slapping the window panes Clouds hovering over pending death Soon to be out of breath Ravens circle the next meal It seems in the end I had some appeal The lights were off long ago A house of ghosts, to end this show Decomposing in musical thought In my chair, soon to rot Who will care? I know most will not In my darkness I am fraught Now the graveyard holds all my thoughts

A little humor in the matter,"Ravens circle the next meal. It seems, in the end, I had some appeal" All the best Arthur

Morose and gross thoughts. Get out of that chair before those ravens take you seriously. ;-)
