I screwed off the lid
and I peered inside
frightened by the terrible sight
a beast with no soul
and an unsightly mole
adding to this sense of blight
how did we stray
this far off course?
can we ever return?
it's cold as hell
I do wish you well
some wages I have to earn
gratitude for the privilege
and the gift of discovery
all I lack I since gave back
to the angel of mercy
spent the better part
of a hundred lifetimes
searching for something like this
before I acquiesce
I know true happiness
is often easy to miss
tripped up
by the trite and trivial
it seems an iron law
the more we strive
we're less than alive
I'm hoping for a thaw.
