The Lingering
Though through my life success I seethe
I often wonder...
Does man inspire? Or do they breathe
of breaths asunder?
The tests of mortal fears are fierce...
Let us then be kind,
and hasten not to knife and pierce
the soft heart or mind.
For deep behind my *****'ling eye:
The dark demons sing...
A song you never hear me cry
of The Lingering...
I speak not of a course of powers
meaningless in will.
I speak in bold, of forceful powers:
Powers that can ****.
Look around at our existence.
Many feel the sting
on mind and heart, through long persistence
of The Lingering...
The agony of gloom and woe
suffered in the dark-
and trepidation's overflow
leaves a grisly mark...
So, take a great and noble caring
to entreat the mind,
taking courage, always daring
to be warm and kind.
To have compassion in the strife:
What aid that can bring-
to one of us who go through life
in The Lingering!
