I once felt Pain
Down ole’ memory’s lane,
It bit and it needled
Like a sliver of grain.
I once left Joy,
I was a very small boy,
Because it blinded and trapped
And was always so coy.
I once beheld Anger
But not as a stranger,
But as an enemy that was me
And it put me in danger.
I once drank of Wisdom
While visiting the Kingdom,
It was icy and sweet
And it put me to sleep.
I once killed Honesty,
He didn’t like me,
And I didn’t like him,
He lies now in peace.
I once kissed Love
Before she left for above,
Flew in mine eyes
Away like a dove.
I then met Hate
Who’s both rounded and straight,
I knew not what to think of him or her or it --
It was an awkward blind date.
I once heard of Silence
Who laughs at compliance,
He likes mocking the rest of us
But is there for our sadness.
I once dug a hollow
For a very brave fellow
Who always seemed to smile
Until he drowned in Denial.
This friend of mine
Whose wide eyes were blind,
Loved to dance in the wild
Like a child of Time.
I once asked the men,
Who would always defend,
Why they struck that child
And left him for dead.
They had then said,
With both Malice and Dread
That they'd had no choice
And they are since dead.
And now I walk with Death,
Who with the sweetest of breath
Welcomes me quite warmly
In a lengthy caress.
And since I've rejoined old friends
As this journey soon ends,
And together we'll go,
The next journey commenced.
