We started and we remained steady hours in your flat that saved our souls from being mute dimmed bulb at long nights to catch the atmosphere sounds and disappear but lasting friendship will remain all the stories told and all the trouble solved but there had to come one day a starry hope that did arise but to be overcast a voice from out the future cries too bright to last we just lived our life’s different places different times brothers at the heart from the start time is cracking pretty frames visions and it fades to remain like shadows a short time a starry hope that did arise but to be overcast my spirit hovering lies motionless aghast such language holds the solemn sea to the sands upon the shore shall bloom the thunder blasted tree or the stricken eagle soar? And all my days are trances and all my nightly dreams are where the gray eyed glances and where the footstep gleams (inspired by Edgar Alan Poe, To one in Paradise)
