A Vast Vacancy Of Tearful Moaning Cries
A Vast Vacancy Of Tearful Moaning Cries
I had always thought to find death in the dead
after seeing lives lost, found I other clues.
Joys of life showed me other answers instead
even if amplified by sad nightly blues.
When glowing red-sun, treads on its daily path
graced by marbled clouds in high summer skies.
Fears of death lost its sting, void of darkness's wrath
and vast vacancy of tearful moaning cries.
Wherein such deeper knowledge gave sweet new cause
I found myself dancing in glittering light.
Seeker journeying far and fast without pause
racing through long brutal maze of darkest fright.
Stand I, beds of flowers, eating bright sunshine
Upon enlightenment my soul does now dine.
