The Eternal Conversation

The Eternal Conversation

I spoke to the wall, the echo retorted
In choral unison loudly
The madness of the discourse found
The audition, worn, distorted

What verse or rhyme can bring her near
When each word casts as exile
More nameless than the unseen stars
More distant than the deafened ear

The wall rejoined, grey and callous
Hardened to my plight
The Gods are want to plague the bards
With atheistic malice

There are two worlds, the stage and mind
The contributing verse
Is dead to one, obscure the other
And never the two aligned
