I saw the light drifting on the sea the eclipse darkens the morning Heat spreads Fire on the horizon Forever onwards Forever into the past All we can see In the darkness in the fire Into the night Are we all done are we beyond hope in this futile world Just a lost cause You will see me Spread Across the Sky On the wings of angels there i will fly On through the night into the day we last We will continue on I will last forever "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." |

The second to last stanza. Yes! that's the clincher there. My favorite. Joy |

Damn my friend, I can't stand it when people start flying around me!! But I will howl for your flight. I like this one my friend. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
