This Confining Mortal Coil
Rage in anger held too long inside
the blackness of release denied
a mind that burns to set all to right
and long the silence watch of night
In memoried halls of life we’re bound
our strife around us mortal found
and scars of pain that etch our soul
each to claim their share of the toll
Yet do we still stand against it all
in answer to a distant echo’s call
something so beyond us leads us on
to some yet other unknown far dawn
Excellent poem! I love it.
