Interlude
Pausing
remembering
unseen
between the moisture and the ashes
remembering
unseen
between the moisture and the ashes
I sit
in fits
balk
but talk
doing little
easily
breezily
here
between the moisture and the ashes
in fits
balk
but talk
doing little
easily
breezily
here
between the moisture and the ashes
My mind
retires
beyond
symbolic wires
keeping order
against surrender
retires
beyond
symbolic wires
keeping order
against surrender
For peace
I seek
relief
from strife
that passion
isn't worth it
now
between the moisture and the ashes
I seek
relief
from strife
that passion
isn't worth it
now
between the moisture and the ashes
Hidden polyhedron
of love
spurning
all the yearning
pausing
beyond symbolic wires
maintaining order
against surrender
of love
spurning
all the yearning
pausing
beyond symbolic wires
maintaining order
against surrender
And so
against my time
my frame
is tamed
turned and tuned
from early doom
against my time
my frame
is tamed
turned and tuned
from early doom
So
can you see
the almost me
even though
I turn from thee?
My palms held fast
against the last
marble
shattered
man be tattered
late or early
bent or straight
all men find
their hidden fate
Pausing
remembering
unseen
somewhere
between the moisture and the ashes
can you see
the almost me
even though
I turn from thee?
My palms held fast
against the last
marble
shattered
man be tattered
late or early
bent or straight
all men find
their hidden fate
Pausing
remembering
unseen
somewhere
between the moisture and the ashes
