Laughter in the foyer, yet I see no one is there A whisper in the stairwell, almost like a prayer The rain is falling furious, hard and wild's the wind And weighty is the meeting that I must soon attend There is much to do, in these strange and faithless times I must make haste and heed the ringing of the chimes I behold an image close, at my open gate Haunted is it's essence, a dreadful twist of fate A shadow near the bower, a sigh I can perceive I shall cease my story now, for you would not believe- Now the sun has broken, and as the foliage dries Magically I'll depart on a white winged horse that flies . . . . "No matter how great you are, you'll never be greater than yourself." |
