The Delving

The Delving


Here I am,
Alone again,
Lost within myself,
Never knowing,
Where I'm going...
Until the grave I delve.

Songs of life,
Songs of death,
Echo within my head.
Whispers of sorrow,
Of the coming morrow...
With a heart of bleeding lead.

I know not why,
I know not how,
I cannot simply see.
Of how I know,
Not where I go...
Within all that be.

So I muse,
On all the world,
And weep at what becomes.
Because the fools,
Care not for souls...
The hearts' cold and numb.

So I cry,
And so I grieve,
For all that now is lost.
The soul life light,
Pure and bright,
Covered in stone and frost.

So here I am,
Alone again,
Lost within myself,
My anger burns,
Because no one learns...
Until the grave they delve.
