Thrashing winds weather worlds to dust
and purpose fades to wanderlust.
Pillars of salt, clad in rust.
Is it sadness found?
Gripping chill cuts to bone through flesh
To ignite memories afresh
To spark the nerves, throw and thresh,
Is it rancor grown?
For years and years you've built this shrine
You've watched the sun set endlesstimes
Vigneron, blind to his own vine.
To lose it all; at last unbound.
