The Sands of Despair

by Lewis Feinland

The specters of my mind

To which I’ve been confined

Wert as beacons in vain

From more washed away rain

The sacred flame flickers

As Sabbath candle burns

Phantom shadow snickers

From lost realm as tide turns

Times walked past weary world

Through time and space as hurled

As the grand illusion

Is only confusion

Of Times own eddies shift

From Year Infinity
