Inklings of intuition Come and go as sun and moon Feel them cling like premonition Sprouting forth and into bloom Rising in their joyous triumph Then, withering in dewy gloom Fading just as they awaken But, to be born again so soon This process of elimination Ever changing with each passing Finding life and ruination In each healing and each lashing Sipping from the ancient vessels Pouring forth their emptiness Like rivers unto weary souls Whose sins cry out to be confessed
Adrift in tides of raging stillness Pouring from eyes of hell and heaven Nothing less than unfulfilled As lessons of these truths, unleavened Pollinate the buds of reason In every reincarnate flower As every sin, in every season Drowns and starves each passing hour Bringing life, and taking same As time stands still and tarries on Sun to night, and moon to day In shattered light and broken dawn The hunger screaming from within For sustenance, not hollow acts Each wasted moment is a sin For time, once lost, can't be gained back
