across the silences these words are
true
that answer sorrow with a
worthy smile
but will not pause to soften nor
revile
your efforts nor the feelings that
are due
this passing day what is it we
review
among the many sights that might
beguile
each voyager who reaches this last
mile
is that the known provides us with a
clue
some would be said to answer that
the day
is not sufficient for all that we
need
but we must struggle onwards into
night
actors and viewers of the self-same
play
not certain if our desperation’s
greed
but ever hopeful we can get things
right
