undone......

Finding solace in somber beings,

Words, thoughts, dreams conjure new meanings. 

The world around is filled with mindless chatter, 

unpoised, uncertain, unreasonable clatter.

But within the noise, within their soul, looks for meaning who? i wonder!

So loosely bound, such shallow ties,

a thought so empty, so often reprised.

Truth and illusion cross their lines,

smudge and smear and together entwine.

So hard to tell one from another, but who has time to stop and ponder!

The day is gone, the night follows fast,

and what is there that will truly last?

You and me are for a moment here,

and tomorrow we are nothing, but earth and air.

So it ends, just as it began, how soon for i had just been born!

And now to me this vacuum speaks,

And now i sing of a haunting bleak,

The shadows are now clear in sight,

and now i smile and look at my flickering light.

So soon undone, i barely was, no time to know, no time to mourn!
