Distilled to mere flesh and bone
Our mortal wounds
Divulge, our timeless concern
Courage, seems all for naught
Before thunderous roads
In want
For our fragile forms
In the prime
Of these loathsome days
We bower in tune
In kindred dismay
Yet ever-more stern
We remain
In our stride to thrive
Fulfilled and true
Beyond, our shroud of despair
