Untitled
asymptotic path

in its entirety the world is slain
by a lamb in a turbulent rain
the sad and sullen still cannot feign
the purity caused by a bloodstain

everyone knows what is at stake
a ransom we cannot forsake
if there is made the vital mistake
the error be cast to a fiery lake

insight given to us in childhood
comes through as truth as we knew it would
never had we understood
death is separating sap from wood

the only mind set i have yet deemed
unworthy is the hole you have reamed
you break the perfection you esteemed
a savior is the cure of which you’ve dreamed
