Steady My Emotion
Steady my emotion
Like the ocean on a stary night
Like a tattered kite
In the breeze
Steady my emotion
Let me be led into
empty space filled with love
Let ocean of white blood snake out from my
Chest through cupid pierced holes
Steady my emotion with fest
hoisted by Hector on the sea to troy
and let even his gaze fix me to my voyage
Steady my emotion
With the sonorous vocal of my minstrel
Let the villes and hills answer his call
The meadows to their heels to heed
Steady my emotion as the spring
Effortlessly galloping down willing cracks and creeks
Steady my emotion like the sun ignoring man’s plea
Rolling out ages and seasons
Let us run not against the sun
For no man prevails at its expense
