Tranquil Duty

Tranquil Duty

A new wind will blow
 Faces in its untimely vest
 Whom do we know by which to trust ?
 A quaint walk along a solemn pier

 The call of the wild through an attentive ear
 A full blast from it's delicate taste
 In a fervor to want yet refuse to waste
 We sifted through shutters amidst the plains

 With granite topping and insane fetters
 The want of a need yet a hero's game
 A place to rest assured no covet blame
 In immense Cedar peril left unclean

 A somber mood of tranquil duty left abode
 A tear drop fell from it's scale
