Random Melancholic

noninvolvement, the Prince of Oblivion
the great master at not seeing
comes out of the dark

let's hold an umbrella over his words
watch what falls around them
in the rain tonight

he cries longing craves suffering
and pride is like weakness
stealing the days

that we don't have to slide
as the worldbuilders did
from life into dying

give me peace now
forever for everyone
home all along

  1. very poignant and touching, gives me a feeling of connection- we're all in the same boat

  2. My hope is that peace spreads outward, and is the best gift we can give ourselves, as well as the world. But it takes faith, and perhaps it would be better to build than to let be. I'm not sure.
