Brave Little Bricks I Some voices in my head, misspending time, announce propensities that are not mine. All sorrows poured may simply trickle through; why hawk despair when dreaming's what I do? II For easy prey our enemies mistook brave little bricks more sturdy than we look. Through catapults, contentions work their charm; still yet, the castle lawn enkindles calm. III I'm tired, but renewed my trouble comes, arrays of trebuchets replaced with guns. By every angle tranquil set upon; from frayed preprogramme, frame continues on. IV 'It's ending now' slow clearing clouds confess, as doubtful as the shapes they coalesce and strange, upon the verge of problems' cease, to finally be conquered by release.

Morningtime On staggering towards the midnight bells, that simple, convoluted shade of man may dwindle, then dissolve within his mind. Too busy for display, more bitter still, a prisoner to everything that was, the flickers from the present fade unseen. Forgetting to unclench one cramping fist, he wanders back to cloudy, sunny days of kites aloft and Rubicons uncrossed. His morningtime, before the lights went out, where never came a pause for second thought, he might have been a person they could love.
