Lament #Seven

[Pendragon]

Lament #Seven

In the litany of eternity
Will there be one voice raised
To sap my sorrow
In that infinite tomorrow?
When fleeting time shall elude our grasp
And continue unsurpassed
Will a wail of sorrow mark the passing
Of a single o’er-wrought soul?
When the nothingness expands
Until it covers ever land
And the sound of silence descends
Cannot one voice break their hold?
To give notice to the emptiness
That should be filled by their dearest
Or shall the rolling smoke of grim eternity
Fill up every nose and throat?

Pendragon

De profundis indeed! I especially valued these lines:



When the nothingness expands
Until it covers ever land
And the sound of silence descends
Cannot one voice break their hold?


Which remind me somewhat of the great black spiritual


I'm going to tell God all my troubles
When I get there...
