The End

The End

The voice of hate
I've heard of late
Has sunk me down in terror

A crippled ship
I drift the depths
Of navigators error

Once bathed in light
I'm now undone
Left struggling in the dark

My memory turns
To days far gone
When the voice was of a lark

So tortured life
Now ends in strife
I gasp in vain for breath

Just left alone
Frozen to the bone
Shaking myself to death


(c)Rhumour 1974

This strikes me as being well written.
'A crippled ship
i drift the depths
of navigators error.'

Super stanza.

Janet. :-)
