in a field of uncomplicated madness
all witnesses bare fright
to scattered margins of improbability and
errors in fated night
the tide of chilled inertia churns out yet
another unsoothable burn
as spirit to frenzy takes a spin to the last
of its turn
centuries demand that the eyes call back their
previous modes of foul play
and herds of envy, hunger and revenge step
solemnly aside to quietly make way
for new self industry to emerge
and bill its pitied off spring yet to be
even born
so as the pen continues to flow
the page softly grows worn
and what once was agility
now cries pitiless tears
to the old woman standing before an uncaring
mirror facing her bitter latter years
spring to life a prideful heart that beats
still willful yet young
sing for, in me she cries , one last life song
that has yet to be be sung
'Eternity,
A Muse Undone'...............................
