Callings

I felt a tug like silver Dripping down my spine And though I felt it quiver I knew that light was mine The call, its pound inside me Too fierce to just ignore My strength had stood so lonely With no one to adore So soon I found another To kiss and call my own Her blood, her thickest thunder Became my golden throne Her eyes flashed lightning courage Her hair tossed faith like rain So catching these, I flourished And found my given name I longed to linger longer To make her lips my home With each romantic saunter My bones became like foam The wind was blowing ceaselessly The ocean's salty spray The silence sang too tenderly That truth would soon decay I grabbed my hat and jacket I kissed my love goodbye My mouth, it made a racket As normal went to die My feet will take me upwards Towards endless years of strife But crumbling pride will suffer Till death returns my life Till death returns my life
