I have said all I had to say And have done all I had to do All that remains are nights and days That all are one shade and hue Each strike of my pencil on paper Is an etch on the skin of my time Each addition of salt or of pepper Is a sigh to the mountains unclimbed I have poured all my blood into rivers And have drank from the death of all things All that cometh has now been delivered That all things should be found within Each thing that I do now henceforth Is a ripple still fading away Each word that I send south or north Is a step that has sunk into clay

I have said
I have said all I had to say And have done all I had to do All that remains are nights and days That all are one shade and hue Each strike of my pencil on paper Is an etch on the skin of my time Each addition of salt or of pepper Is a sigh to the mountains unclimbed I have poured all my blood into rivers And have drank from the death of all things All that cometh has now been delivered That all things should be found within Each thing that I do now henceforth Is a ripple still fading away Each word that I send south or north Is a step that has sunk into clay
Thanks for reading!
