delve with me (if you will)
into the deep discussions of mist and snow
the graveyards and forests
along side the greater mysteries of magic and
their paths of light
that endlessly seem to lead up to the serenity
of the moon
as the oceans seem to have had their fill of salt
and burials at sea
we arrive upon the notion that not all of this
world sets just right
in and of itself just as we man in the equation
is but a simple vessel of motion
fearful throughout the documented ages
he is mentioned harboring such madness
at the veil over the darkness of night
the light holds our hands through out the
traumatic perils we pit ourselves against
whichever unforseen corner up ahead that offers
the next injection of harrowing fright
we seem to enjoy setting ourselves up in the
best of the worst situations
that guarantee man necessary vital exits out
of his own carefully constructed crisis
and this some like to label as living on the edge
when the edge often in turn is only that of the
edge of our own mind's fragile sanity
and so from such brink of near self induced
madness
we in turn one by perpetual one
grapple to learn the answers
for which we were sent here to seek............
