Stood on bails of stacked hay
Until he stumbles and fall...

the darkness, a-ha! the cash!

A raven, so craven;
a bit like a raisen. 
Once sweet, now sour
with no source of power.
He stumbles and grumbles;
puking his guts. 

Oh man what a drunk...

Relaxed, yet powerful, like a bow half-drawn
The smile is yours
but I want to give it to you
So I can look up
And see you bend it toward heaven...

On damp ground.

Stumbles through the mist
Of misunderstanding

Perhaps its time was up
Its days counted
Fulfilled

Mourning
Will be done
In silence...
