Before you plunge deeper the blade
If you knew a place so far
From the warmth of summer rains
If you knew the stop

Or analogy - symbolic for
The arrogance little girls implore
When vile winds and tears do scorch
The loving Earth with days of morrow
"All things must pass"
This too sweet sorrow
If you felt the jarring winds
Slice deeper the fading soul
If you felt weightless descent
Or heed the bells that toll
Then know you would what follows next

As if a child whom plays a game?
Dost he strip the soul immediately
Or allow its gentle fade?
Dost he smile and state
"You'll rue the day...?"
Dost he snicker and call you by proper name...?
Sweetest Romeo...
"Where art thou?"
