                 I finally found what's lost;
                       or perhaps, what lacks;
                 of living's needed cost
                        for trustworthy tracks,
                 so I shall melt this frost
                        and better go sack;
                 into broken chunks that caused
                        my spirit's dry cracks;
                 for mornings when I woke
                         are brighter, contrast
                 to mornings filled with smoke
                         of those failure past;
                 for heavy was the cloak
                         my living had cast;
                 almost like I was choked;
                         maybe self-harrassed;
                 one morning yet I caught
                         myself to close mask;
                 and painted one I sought
                         was suited new task,
                'tis no pressure I fought
                          but answers in flash,
                 I drank to surely wrought
                          this spirit I asked;
                 to be my lover, wrote
                           this letter just once;
                 For trusted I to vote
                           our winnings and haunts,
                 now mornings seem to float
                           in heavens to flaunt;
                 thanks to this love's devote
                           for quenching my wants.
