I've fallen so badly
In the loveliest way
She is youth and hope
Peace incarnate
She will lead me astray
To the strangest of lands
I climb up her rope
To life's golden sands
Should I give myself fully
She would do me no harm
She lifts the whole sky
No earthly alarms
To the void's long keep
We'll breathe with the angels
In softened sighs
To the top of old Babel
Amidst harrowing storms
Jagged, veiny towers
The zenith of brevity
The brassen bellows
On top of this sap-laden tree
Where the stars finally contort
And intercept the grass itself
We will rest in a cedarn cove
