A Fallen Saint

The song once sung with sanguine summer sounds
Still echoes in the canyons of the past
Through time and space in memory resounds

Repeating in percipience it pounds
And lingers on unheeded to the last
The song once sung with sanguine summer sounds

Temptation closes in as it surrounds
Forgotten grace once easily amassed
Through time and space in memory resounds

Slowly every shelter finds the ground
The time of its temerity long past
The song once sung with sanguine summer sounds

Assured of its destruction as it pounds
The die of its undoing once was cast
Through time and space in memory resounds

A melody once treasured, now unfound
Its comfort and its glory unsurpassed
The song once sung with sanguine summer sounds
Through time and space in memory resounds
