The Stinging Gift
-----------------
(PART II)
----------

With the wind against my wanderings
And the sun a murky messenger
A daybreak scattered logical
Scattalogical illumine
Lost waves of snow enfold the destiny
Where softening shades of graduation
Stalk Heaven's mystic bridge

Timeless Morning, I embrace you
Cold and clear as remembrance edifice
In state
Gardens where the whispers nicked
Victory 'cross my soul
That they might surge
Shake the vine
And taste a little life blood

Because they're sleepy
Sleeping deeply
They order a double
Breach of the Peace
To wash away mud
't would cling
T' wood
"Wet-ash"-tongued for
Lethe's
Leafy

Solar suspension
O'er Tree of Knowledge
Polar pretension
'neath Lake of Loss
Elation's
Elevation

Atop the summit
Afore the valley
Miracle circles falling
Gull to the hull

Visionary sillhouette could blind
Striking
Eternal, retinal
Sliding
To the shipwreck-defiance-veiled
Vale
The crystal kingdom
Where marble eyes endure the flicker
Beyond the glassy turrets
Of the Ice Palace
