Without Rhyme Or Reason
Heart Beats Slowly Unto Death
Heart beats slowly unto death
Quiet resignation reigns supreme
And all around lie fragments
Of a tangled tortured dream
Intimidated by doubts and fear
Instilled in years so tender
And love that came to touch the heart
Unattained its sweet surrender
Youthful thoughts revisited
A place, now gone astray
A momentary madness
With no light to mark the way
And so, when timeless thoughts persist
As we near the final breath
With quiet resignation
Heart beats slowly unto death.
