And pondering upon eternity
I sipped the dregs of the cup of malice
And pucker was shear delight!
When below the valley floor
I knelt upon the dews of wrath
My quivering lips did touch the elixir
Of a love once true now dead
When among the whispering canyons
I sought to quench my stinging fury
And bury mountains of forced discretion
To appease the masses that plea for silence
When through the clenched teeth
That I once suppressed through the pain
Passes the energy, reverberating through all
Stirring the eternal essence throughout
When all around me flew the sounds
Of living breathing dreams escaped
Then no one sat to sooth and comfort
The wounds that caused my soul to ache
