Persons

Does the peril of a life so perfect
        Squander unwept tears?
Does the shiny saucer of a world
           Call the horrid fear?
     If I disclose a million-fold
   The welcome do they serve--
      I swear the rugged tundra
Lies beneath a twin-bridged stream.
                So open do I say,
            I lift you herald high.
       Does one who's undeserved
        Flow gently without flight?
Does it matter here what genre I portray?
             Does it matter then again
        That I've lost my square on life?
     How many times will it take till I see
            What my maker wants of me?
          How many writings will I send
             Till I meet my calling, please?
