What Twisted Song - A Poem By Moe

what somber note to lose and gain
what twisted song to sing
for one to smile and still feel pain
without a tear to bring

for joy and grief are but two states
that come and go in time
but now to deal with both these fates
should now be deemed a crime

but still we press to count our bliss
ignoring all that ails
to move on past the spirits kiss
contending with our sails

what light awaits, one cannot say
for still we sail till dawn
but night has left all doors to sway
till all that's left is gone

~Moses Apollo
