Meaning

to plumb the depths
of tormented mind
we seek to find
the reasons why.

in darkened tombs
the vile repository
of hidden vice
lies dormant

in the winter
of fervent prayer.
we shake the petals
from the flowers of wrath
in righteous anger

at the shadowy thoughts
that creep unheard
through the recesses
of our tortured minds.

and sit and ponder
the meaning
the meaning of deceptive
empty words.
