O swearing sailors, O solitude's sighs, O dearest of love
here is a tale that has happened and happens now
he walked through the narrow alleys of the bazaars
he had his food with the thieves,
washed his sins in the rivers of time,
dried his griefs in the winds of solitude.
Yet a morning serves a stone in his platter.
Then the winds didn't stop by
and time rattled on.
The stars were shy
and love was a thing too cheap.
Wisdom didn't take his thoughts to the ball
and minions swept the symphonies off the walls.
Then the fall brought a winters call
silence answered the world in a pause
And this poet leaves his ink today,
off to a world where silence is all
And he sees in a lady young,
the charm that the infant earth had once,
an anger and smile which shall make the ravens all so wise.
