Soul's Ebb and Flow
How it starts
the killer of Hearts
when the soul goes out of man
Some souls polluted
but most diluted
Tall to Time few things will stand
Ageless things
may yet still sing
if their essence is preserved
But callow Time
binds bitter grime
to the things that it perturbs
Battle's gone
no swords are drawn
but the Warrior's Heart remains
Wealth in great
earns poor man's hate
now covetously holds its gains
All shores are known
save flesh and bone
our longships explore within
Our eyes uncovered
old friends discovered
free us from guilt and "sin"
A poet's thrill
a painter's skill
now tell tales in light and sound
Some things change
some merely range
but the old soul is still around
