Poignant
Play once again that haunting tune,
Observe and see those ancient themes;
Invite old pains to ply these dunes,
Glimpse fond beauty in sad sad dreams;
Note now the scenes of grandeur past,
A cast so odd beyond all craze;
Niche in between what cannot last,
Thrills we once sought as poise and gaze.
Meet in bleak space these hurried grooves,
Enact the rush of mad charades;
Lure of fond trace of mystic moves,
Obtain stray brush of masquerade;
Deed follows act in long lost pact,
Yes poignant tact in unseen fact.
