Day emerges       And unburdened urges The hour vessel sand, Grain by grain, To gain by gradual increase,       That he may enter into A life that none can ascertain; And he usurps the authority                                            Of Death's powerful hand, Alight with a spirit courageous               Yet stained With Guilt... For that hand many lives Has claimed... Encouraging specific grief and pain! Devices do definitely die -weather worn and withered; whether worn and wilted -or otherwise. Once born into his fortress forthright -The right sustained thru                   The law of casualties- Thou gorgeous light steals e'en The purest night,       Like a thief unashamed, (Most naturally and casually.) But soon Day too will pay this penalty, And give up the ghost to Night,       Again one life ends with the sickle of Death,                    So that a new life might reign -Afresh in Time's cycle of Eternity forthright.

Viscious Cycle
Day emerges       And unburdened urges The hour vessel sand, Grain by grain, To gain by gradual increase,       That he may enter into A life that none can ascertain; And he usurps the authority                                            Of Death's powerful hand, Alight with a spirit courageous               Yet stained With Guilt... For that hand many lives Has claimed... Encouraging specific grief and pain! Devices do definitely die -weather worn and withered; whether worn and wilted -or otherwise. Once born into his fortress forthright -The right sustained thru                   The law of casualties- Thou gorgeous light steals e'en The purest night,       Like a thief unashamed, (Most naturally and casually.) But soon Day too will pay this penalty, And give up the ghost to Night,       Again one life ends with the sickle of Death,                    So that a new life might reign -Afresh in Time's cycle of Eternity forthright.
