Adagio X (Double sharp)

I sat down someday to seek in writing

and nothing came to fruition,

perhaps my cloudy slumbering day

had become my new profession.

–

Quietly I scanned the outlook

hoping what to see,

and all my eyes came back to me

twilight’s endless sea.

–

Was here I thought to understand

my sight was on its wane,

and all the flashing brilliant things

had lost all glamour and fame.

–

Rest me down I lay to sleep

for the morrow is on the rise,

there I might see the glimmer

of an unsung glorious prize.
