As I walk
2 the ledge O’
terrain~•
I do sauk
on the edge of
tear rain~•
bout ta leap
where the sheep
gnaw the grain~•
out ta seek
Death 
4 all tis’ a game. ~•
As I walk
2 brink
of demise ∆
Reaper stalkZ
I feel clinkZ
In the rise ∆
Heart iZ dark 
TearZ I blink
I despise ∆
mine deep waterZ 
wherein shark 
seek ta rise. ∆
Yea,
as I step
2 the flick O’
the flame 
*
ev’ry quick breath
tis’ yet tethered
in shame *
Mine soul dim
bereft
till the wind
told my name *
as a kin
whence one’s limbZ
fold in pain *
Quoth the wind “
son thy starZ
still remain {}
Love again
without remorse
nor disdain {}
hope & passion 4 Life
doth sustain {}
knoweth time
Tis’ more fleeting
than fame” .{}
I turn away
from the ledge
O’ terrain \
I yearn for dayZ
with my greyZ
Unrestrained \
standing proud
In Blue Dusk…
Betwixt cloudZ
I Exclaim \
And doth shout,
2 the Dust…
“I SHALT NOT
DIE IN VAIN”!! \
