about

This was simply an attempt to copy a lyrical form I saw Beth DeSombre use on FAWM.

lyrics

I found a river in my head
Like a slender silver thread
Cascading in a shining spate
Where the sable rocks await
In the web of light I read my fate

Never knowing what we gain or lose
Choosing blindly, still we have to choose.

And like a dawn-lit pyramid
I see revealed what once was hid
The grief and care that might have been
The love and joy I didn’t win
The other roads I never did begin

Never knowing what we gain or lose
Choosing blindly still we have to choose.

I hear it with my dreaming eye
A call with which I must comply
An urgency that must be met
A duty, or an unpaid debt
Again I sink in dream, and I forget.

Never knowing what we gain or lose,
Choosing blindly, still we have to choose.

Never knowing what we gain or lose,
Choosing blindly, still we have to choose.
