The Premonition of Melancholy

It oftentimes comes to pass
Amid the thorns and briars of our earthly being
That we do fail to comprehend the genuine meaning
Of the celestial signs of a mass,
Or of the words engraved upon the plates of brass…
We’re captured by the sorrow, grief and doubt,
And sadness falls upon our eyes like a shroud.

We are like fireflies, like jack-o’-lanterns,
A-wandering amid the mighty grass
Of towers, walls and urban thin skyscrapers…
This labyrinth of life is infinite… Alas!

Fall, 2015
