The sequestered chapel stood, tranquil was the place
With a calm drowning the hubbub around
With blooming plants adorning the encircling space

Gently moved to that well protected chapel

Summer's sensuality
New leaves green with love
Mark the ritual's beginning
A ritual old as the unmarked time
That passed before us all,
In which we were called to spring, to dance

I am no revolutionary
For mine is not an ideal
A noble statement
I ain’t gonna give a speech
No riling up crowds, riots
This ain’t no cause
No movement for you to join
All that it is 
A cry to the...

It was easier to give you life than
To take it back from you.

You could have been anyone.

Vocabulary
that’s all which comes to me
painful conundrum so carefully written

I say so many things

I guess we cling because we have to
all the ropes and ice-picks
these things in the cold
these icicles we hang on to

And strung upon the precipice

It often creeps the dream of wondrous 
Sadly, shirked the throbbing drums
Yes! The soreness after the bubblegum...
