Obliged me, the broken branches I the picked up

Then we finally reached where had to leap
From the second turn to third, and...

I sit on the hill peak of courage.
Drafting my testimony on an inkless page of my acquired voicelessness,
Looking down pieces of the shell broken scattered in the valley where
My...

the dawn chorus now inspired
so loud a crescendo, all hark
