Through That Window

Lying in an augur's aviary..
Reneging on my virtues,so credulous..
The feying fay being taken to 
bury,
I see things called ambigous.


Slowly fading odour of scantity..
In Attica, end of augustan age.
Wings of Azreal, the martinet 
deity,
I see these, with espied rage.


Hydaes casting spell every 
night..
The abysmal wizard of dark 
kinglet.
Between scylla and cherybdis is 
my sight..
Seeing through the torment 
outlet.


Through that window, with 
arriere pensee..
I see me, the ambling ember
Once alive, now frozen modus 
vivendi..
Promenading with flowing ichor.


Still with each sunshine..


I see hope blazing through..
A jocund scene,hard to miss.
The changing magniloquent 
hue..
Palladium of gamut bliss.....
