Missive Iii
Sometimes it is alright that you are far away
While I conflicted not with my love for you pines
For your more mature and less emotional hour.
And yet I change neither day nor day, but drink
Of moon and stars the passion of day's due change
And is not change that's lacking us who become
Bored by our sense of life. My bravely believe
I have so much to surrender where loyalty keeps
For in that language that loyalty reads, its own
Proper interpretation of life abounds. We find
What we look for, and we search for who we are
So broken hearted among the rubble of expectations,
I pity you wallowed in this heap, frightened fledgling
Earthbound and flattering in the silence of my wound.
