The Lotus Eaters

''...And many a moon shall rise and lead me into the cold embrace of the night. Here we drown in our grief, drown in an absence of light. Here is no shelter; no escape from our heart. Entwined in this tragic embrace, I fear and bemourn to depart.
When the shadows fall, and the sun sets in us all... Just silent hopes remain and the aching grief that grows into abottomless vale I fall. Oh, I give myself away... Away!
Far away to this dim and misty place. My heart reflects the night... languid moonshine I bath my skin in thee. Oh may thy beauty be revealed in me. Silent winds, whisper to me thy songs of solitude and joy.''
