An Ode to Reflection

Shade is the color of deceit
Sorrowing into the morrow
Life is annulled
In a changeless fashion
Meaning lies decrepit
In an empty vessel channeled
Into a vast and endless vacuum
Summoned to once reveal
Dreams I have not had
Upon this senseless surface
Of life’s limitless paths

Ramon, Ramon on the beach
Striding by endless shores
She sang for all of us
Grappling the drunken moss
Evenly keen as I ken
The follies of fathom’s end
