I went home after a long day

Corridor unto itself

I see the reflection down the hall

The beast within mine eye

The soulless wanderer

O great sky take me unto thee

I am but a vessel

My long day unraveled and struck to the ground

Anchors of impossible merit

I buried my brother today

He died having known the weight

of an endless horizon.

Alas this day, longest yet

Corridor unto itself

I wander these halls to the door

That bears my burden.

I turn, see the reflection down the hall

Once more it chases me

Once more I elude its message.

The beast within my eye

Won't take me just yet
