Missive To Yul

Through and through your liquid whole Your magma rumbles Beyond control One day the smoke and ash Bellowing at the sun's rich light Will come to a narrowing Where the vent By your convulsive activity Is choked You will see me then The way I always am Blistered, barren, scarred By other's wrath before And yet forever flowing Around the paths The liquid fire cooled to dam You will know me Without the lies and pollution Poisoning my purpose And realize my distilled silence Is the power behind The catclysm of your eruption. Watch me change direction Frolicking towards the sea My love unchanged By the ravages of history.
