All is done now.
All is done now.
Good for me.
We live in foolish days
So many people
Hiding from
The nature of ways
The meaning of things
Lost in the mizzle
Of falsehood
A dog day brings,
Where stars fill the sky
Only in wilderness
The quietude
Upon the air
All but forgotten
Unless carried on high
By the eagle
A spirit free to soar
Over land and sea
Escape is the death
Of a last breath
Starved of life
Even the earth
Lies blanched
At the thought
Of a funeral
Where smoke is fired
With an imaginary
Tale of destruction
As nothing dies
But is killed
Hands are stayed
Only in restraint
Is this to be
A last hope
For the heart
Of a people, lost
In need of relief
A broken dream
Is a nightmare
To recapture
With no clean air
Between us
The purest of intentions
Is the rarest
Of commodities
To barter in haste
It is commonplace
For the foolish man
To lose their way
In the dying light
Of a Herringbone
Day.
