Where Spirits Lay

Mortal solitude ascribes in this distant reflection
Forever limited to the oracles inspired,
But too the wisdom once perceived
Came the ravages of our own objective

Ponder still the makeup of ourselves 
Bound to the meaning of salvation,
For perilous time shall linger in thought
Awaiting an answer to our question   

Callus the wisdom to ones morality 
Where shadows wait the mystery of life,
But in silence came a distant voice
Studying the significance of times swift passage 

It stirs not the place of our own discretion 
Limited to the coming night,
Here ‘neath the sound of a heaven’s gate 
And the hush of age itself
