Silent stars with quiet glints Upon the midnight dark skies print And the moon so subtly hints The hooting owls to gently pray Here with heels dug in the sod My palms are smeared with sticky mud My head prostrate, I talk to God To rain mercies upon my grave Standing here a man with sins Deeds of ill in many scenes Done to sorts of many beings But my absolution is with my Liege There across the wide expanse As if were caught in a sickly trance My conscience struck with conscious lance Is waning pale and dies away Here the man that was alive Washed and shrouded, will arrive Died of what some else'd survive But time was due and done he is

Reminiscent Rants I
Silent stars with quiet glints Upon the midnight dark skies print And the moon so subtly hints The hooting owls to gently pray Here with heels dug in the sod My palms are smeared with sticky mud My head prostrate, I talk to God To rain mercies upon my grave Standing here a man with sins Deeds of ill in many scenes Done to sorts of many beings But my absolution is with my Liege There across the wide expanse As if were caught in a sickly trance My conscience struck with conscious lance Is waning pale and dies away Here the man that was alive Washed and shrouded, will arrive Died of what some else'd survive But time was due and done he is
