Symphony No. 8

Dear Misery

your grief blocks the road

today I say no more

I await you nevertheless further down

watch your steps

Down on your knees

unearth me sings Misery

lend me your company

Misery you think me weak

the name you seek in company remains free

I refuse thee

I await you nevertheless further down

watch your steps

Dear Misery again you speak

contemplative quiet

eloquent in its revelry is all that I need

I await you nevertheless further down

watch your steps

Dear Misery you are but a piece of a dream

And I dream

And I dream

And I dream

Misery your grief blocks the road

I say no more

I step no longer

today I soar

Dear Misery

- G.D.C.
