Humilis (Latine for humble)

Abased, drug weary through the mire
Yet orchestrator of thyne own tragedy
A faint sigh of songbird on the wire
Convictionless mimicry, strained effigy

Ever yet still the river floweth on
Though unbestillen this woebegone mess
It dost lull thou, lifteth wan
In its stead fills the featureless

Wow, a grandiloquent, yet humble, ode, enjoyed

Love

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!"

Wow, my humble thanks for your kind words. /blush I hope it didn't sound too pompous...grandiloquent in the archaic sense, de grandis, the knowledge that we are the conductors in this orchestra of life, our lives.

Andros, your siggy makes me think of tabula rasa where it reads "spotless mind". Too funny. Likened to the Platonic Cave.
