Then looked off to the priest with venom eyes,
Only to look back and rage at Marton,

Is friendship opinionated?
Intolerant of diverse views…
Inflexible, lacking patience…

I feel a wondrous day beginning
Even though it’s yet unseen
I feel a wondrous light approaching
Even through the night’s dark screen

of too many wars, waged for profits that have no future.
Lost now, only darkness clutches, upon his demise.

In most unsavory comp'ny.

It begins at an apex point,
a hand that’s reaching down,
a dove flies freely below this,

Corn flowers of purple and blue
Dusty millers with yellow hues 
Elderflowers in a living bouquet
Fairy wigs thrown in the array

Horned violets, lead down, to the...
