april songs:  journey of life 9

april song 09—inferment

though the odyssey be trying,
you shall find recurrent pause
to the weary soul relying
on the blessings of the cause.

ills of earth are only transient,
though their moments burn with fire;
they shall perish in the tangent
of the darkness they conspire.

should the eyes see only darkly,
and the ears but silence hear,
worry not that sleep so starkly
comes to modify your fear.

for the head, when bowed and hoary,
and the bones, when brittle-bent,
are preparing for your glory,
where there’s no impediment.

there shall be no real interment
where death is a mere inferment.
