The Askance Chapter 4 Part 3a

Love, Hate And War Somehow, I felt unnaturally at peace at heart Accepting all there is whether in reality or in dreams I felt changed in finality from a past torn apart Yet, I’m unable to realize what is all to mean Given my current status, I’ve lost what belongs dear to me Perhaps I might say, dear in reality and make-believe Though living a false truth beyond living humanity It is as real as what the passage of dreams can achieve I’ve lost the love I can see in presence I’m lost the will in savouring financial comfort I’ve developed an inability to see reason And as silently I go, I travel the paths unheard As for the land beyond, to fight for good to triumph I can recognize faith and all good will for the cause Yet, those of darkness can I find myself the moment When I know it’s the price for reality to be lost Am I to sleep once more… at peace?
