From
Pharmacy to Parchment
I never thought I'd live to
see the day
ply through the peril and pinch the plight
gleaming in the glint of gold and grey.
The burden of the brunt I chose to betray
shining in the smudge of my mildew light
I never thought I'd live to see the day.
As a phoenix I reeked and fell prey
to faithless forgery black and white
gleaming in the glint of gold and grey.
An August moon lives in present today
wasting the winter wanderer’s veil so bright
I never thought I'd live to see the day.
From pharmacy to parchment I'd plod in play
the draft of my destiny I could rewrite
gleaming in the glint of gold and grey.
The corals of my crown are cupped in my clay
restoring the roundels of my lost sight
I never thought I'd live to see the day
gleaming in the glint of gold and grey.
