Rocking back and forth, side to side
Utter silence in our sphere presides
A look, no a glance I dare throw in your way
Pleading, seeking a sympathetic glare

Pride lurks like a lion in hunt
Neither one dares oppose its might
Instead love pays the price over shame
Eternal sadness swings in our way

The winter's cold grasps our hearts
Mute, lifeless as the frosty leaf
A new plight to our shore comes
As I look behind with love and grief

Oh the words of the wise, the dead and alive,
Seem the only hope of peace
I divulge and devour their infinite desire,
Their passion, their love
Make my own, make my life,
Scurry away the demons in sight
My eyes, my ears, my senses
They are my Gods, my truth

Hide me away to a world of wisdom,
Where love and loss are but fleeting moments

Take me in hand, guide me to the immortal page
