distant visceral

sum is sun

and sighs are deep

as summer comes

we wake from sleep

a season late

it's to be sure

that what we elevate

is truly pure

the distant visceral

lives are just dissent

are we ethereal

or but mortal lent?

as cities fall

besieged nations fade

one hears the call

opposing forces' colonnade

i will forever bleed

the truth your spirit speaks

i will as ever need

the counsel that i keep

come away, my love

away

i invoke, my love

away

as lazarus come newly 

unto the resplendent earth

i beseech your heart so truly

to grant our love rebirth

the sky imagines fields

of textures ever new

whilst cirrus lords e'er sing

of mythic me and you
