A Settled Heart
A settled heart remains
The quiet separated soul
Still in mire, once desire
Now requires not its whole
Scene and act, lost in time
Stories passing, slow and gray
The heart turns back in black of mind
The silence, all it has to say
For what lust shall the heart awake?
Even dreams of love are hollow
No reason to rejoice in sleep
When waking only brings tomorrow
The quiet separated soul
Still in mire, once desire
Now requires not its whole
Scene and act, lost in time
Stories passing, slow and gray
The heart turns back in black of mind
The silence, all it has to say
For what lust shall the heart awake?
Even dreams of love are hollow
No reason to rejoice in sleep
When waking only brings tomorrow

Basically, if 2014 had an anthem for me, this would be it. I was, in a word, bored. Thankfully I'm feeling more like my old self again, and this coming year is going to be different. :]
