THE LONGING’S LAMENT

the day when hearts love as one

shall commence a broken Heaven

i’ve been patient so long

i’ve forgotten even

the terror and suffering

flown up to heaven,

a sick thirst again

darkens my veins.

let it come, let it come

the day when hearts love as one.

so the meadow

freed by neglect,

flowered, overgrown

with weeds and incense,

to the buzz nearby

of foul flies.

let it come, let it come

the day when hearts love as one.
