Far - and yet all too near... Augmenting as swift and turbulent streams There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts Bred for long within.
For life itself in this momentum Inhospitable appears and desolate, Nor known by nor knowing me...
Shall I then part - hence whither wander down Into a lower realm? Departure from this dwelling In obscure Twilight to remain?
In lurking patience some uncouth cell 'Mongst horrid views and ebon shades Hence vain deceiving joys In unanswered decay to e'erforth dwell... Hovering existence slowly drowned In thick hideous dreams.
For in a sad leaden downward cast My dreams consumed all life at last.
As swift and turbulent streams There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts Bred for long within.
For in a sad leaden downward cast My dreams consumed all life at last.
To appear in spite of sorrows And at the sight of heart-bleaking unlight To bid for gentle morrows.
Shall I then part - hence whither wander down Into a lower realm? Departure from this dwelling In obscure Twilight to remain?
As nightfall far too oft belies The dawn's gentle promises - all. By appearing in many dreadful guises It turns unrecognizable.
As swift and turbulent streams There arose a multitude of atomic thoughts Bred for long within.
Scion of despair - reason vanished like smoke In longing for those whom I left behind...
In me the all-forsaken living part of eternity!
Inextricable web of elusive reflections Bearing the cruel refractory reminiscence.
To sorrow now... repent? Or pray? The mystery still binding me - leave me not In death's ashen dust.
