An Account
An Account
Seas of complacency
refuge of many
foot weary and hapless
to swim the surface
albiet briefly in tranquility
A wave breaks
chaos is King once more
scattered in confusion
no flowers in
purple tulip vases
Empty carriages
with fine horses
await on cobbled streets
echo misery
A plummet to
new depths
in iron clad walls
down through the
blue lined pit
of damned eternity
no glimmer or glimpses
no air to resuscitate
sins paid for
an elevation of resurrection
air riven from lungs
restoration in fullness
Yellow and white flowers
in bloom again
the bells are ringing
surface to hope
in perpetuity
