Sons of Sorrow
I hath seen many
days, A bleak
passing blur. A blur
for mine meagre
senses to grasp,
To give a thoughtful
mote Some note to
any of my woes. A
stirring pond my
thoughts, Pondering
on my dismal state.
What meagre value
doth a shell hath,
Weighed against the
oceans' vastness
unbound
Is found wanting in
worth. All efforts
of mine at insight's
light A minor to
hopelessness's major
hold
So mot seasons of
life pass us by
Whilst gloom
cradleth us sorrow's
sons. Lone and torn
in a world of
sorrow.
Without a heart what
will hurt? But flesh
which with time
heals Why ponder on
peace?, knowing
sorrow cradleth all
life. And so to soar
above sorrow is to
lose one's mind. Rip
said tethers and
find freedom,
binders bounding you
to a lower hell Why
stay bound to life
when said bondage is
to sorrow. Why not
embrace the flitting
darkness between a
blink and make it
your last
