Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

This fools lyred lips slide words of lead
from evenings death to mornings dread,
to scatter pennies in this well of gold.

Soft whispered prayers among the proud
fast falling cast amid this crowd,
where wishful dreams die, drop or hang untold.

An errand sad and mad indeed
producing thoughts for none to read,
to watch a star you may have glimpsed grow cold.

A lunatic poetic trend
when shall this fevered nightmare end,
or am I clutching straws I cannot hold?
