The catafalque calls, ready to serve through my subliminal rapture of verse Although it seems inviting in its calm, cool stance, its intentions are bitter and terse She moved with the fire, high on her post, this girl that could dance with the moon and although her heart was broken and dark, her soul was burned out far too soon Entangled in moonlight that pierced through the flames, she swam in their flickering rhythm The taste of her soul was thick in the air, which only hastened the schism The encroaching trees stretched out their fingers that appeared as a praising hand With the sky in her soul, corrupt and in fragments resonated bitter, as planned She fell from her post, and the night became dark without this girl who lit up the sky For without her acquaintance the moon was alone, and accordingly proceeded to die Cold and alone the world looked up at a sky, which now lingered above without light And every creature whether man or beast, let out a cry in the night The girl, who lay dying, was scooped up by the sun who had finally risen from sleep, and the moon, whom he loved was sent to the catafalque where the others could properly weep She was laid to rest, with the shards of the sky that had embedded themselves deep in her heart This lovely girl who now sleeps with the sun, a new world she was soon to start ...just bein' Bluesy |

Bluesy, did you hear my jaw drop? Bravo my good man. Don't know where I'd begin to start with a comment, so I'll just give you a standing ovation. ![]() |
