Weary in this mortal shell,
a test, now limits best;
To resist the sandman\'\'s nell,
as fell gods bless.
With dreams;
woe, wretched dreams unseen.
Of days past, a wish most fervent;
to never been.
Whence crippling pains extrude,
in reminiscence;
Of happier lies, in childish eyes,
of life\'s brisance.
Like a stained glass shattered,
then scattered;
Fable sought, yet in hypocrisy,
ruined and tattered
It\'s cruel ember, naught but ash,
to sift and settle;
As once more,
fell gods test mankind\'s mettle.
