2022

Behind is desolation

Summer sun soothes the soul
The band plays songs of old
Wine quiets the mind
And Tomorrow has its own time
Lost love will be found
The world goes round and round
And God will provide

Hope is a delusion
Love is lost


Faith comes at a cost
Anger is a drain
Exhaustion is all that remains


The end inevitable?
Fate unalterable?


Too tired to care
Condemned for the sacrifices one has made,
by demands insatiable


I search for that which I cannot find
I am denied and cast  aside


What is not, cannot be
What is, always was


Destruction is its own demise
I will survive.
