Song of the Poet

A poet full of noise you empty of sound
A pilgrimage you have trodden under ground

With every seed that nature drops
Without rain the seeds will wither out

Is this the time of the season
Have the nightingale lost their song

Immortality does not exist
A voice composted seeps into the abyss

Who will hasten to regenerate
A poet’s noise from an empty space

Will anyone rebel against conformity
Or join the pilgrimage of the poets plight
