In my hermit’s cave,
Not so dim and dank,
Where I rant and rave;
Where emotions sank.

I look out at all
Princes and peasants,
And try to recall
Where my life was spent.

The bottom is close
Barely a step now,
For I sank not rose;
I care not the how.

A bird flies away
From its roosting place
To the mundane day,
A pain I can’t face.

Peasant and the King
Neither rules the sky
They can’t stop clocks ring
Or tax birds that fly.

Gloom

Inspired by Zhang Jiuling 673 China

How very true! I like this melancholy write, Gloomy one! *S*

"I look out at all

And try to recall
Where my life was spent."

Sometimes I wonder if we all don't in some ways try to recall where life has passed us by at.

A pleasure to read you again Proff.
