Beyond Our Lives

Callow youth so foolish;
Mirrored by what they face,
Chasing the lines we trace.

Willed in their way;
A palace in the sky,
From death we fly,
Souls that never die.

Each a shroud, a tear;
Truth hobbles, unable,
Hope exists by fable.

Despair at what is certain;
The innocent cries,
Such beauty in their eyes,
The bedrock of such lies.
