Elegy Written In a White Night

As the nature dances to the tune of fate

Thus, demise visits us passionately

Perhaps the road was taken

Albeit, it was stolen

 
My driver, conductor, the road masters

Why did death control your unseen foot?

Powering your gear beyond limit?

Punctuated by a bleak nimbus

Exposing your pregnant skulls

To august rain-

… Juntas and unknown chaps?
