about

This is a sonnet I wrote for my friend Joseph.

lyrics

O, how the world, with you, does wax dreary,
As the ocean's drawn, like tears, by pale moon,
So white, so deep. How mind and voice do croon
And swirl in ceaseless eddies, You, weary,
But nonetheless connected as the tide,
And thorough as a summer's day, and wide
As continents, spanning ages, grinding
Jagged stone to grain, all without changing.
Yet, comfort is a precarious thing,
Chalked and hollowed it may appear,
So weighted are these words, they do not sing
To distant virgins, rather, to your ear
They whisper gently, with a will to be,
And in an instant float back out to sea
