Spirits lost in the midst of voidness

Seeking light from there and beyond

Hope now slowly dying in darkness

Found its drop of chance in the ocean

Mind, body, heart and soul aching

Pain throbbing in a man's contained chest

A hand gripping mine's limp, lifeless fingers

A salvation in the ruins' midst and glory

Lips parched now touched and tasted its sweetness

The eternal matter which gives us all life

Ardorous sun dried my heart's desire

But the gentle winds of midsummer night's love

Caressed the warm longing spirit to life

The unyielding now chained in his arms

Wrapped in all tenderness and pure joy and delight

That which has conquered has succumbed

Trapped in a battle though with no indignation

Thus when monarchs stand in might

Helplessly face their sseetest triumph in defeat
