    This comes from the deepest of chambers
    From the darkest of wells
    That is to say
    The sullen sunken hollows
    Are the windows of my madness

    The gears and cogs
    Turn constantly on end
    In a vast and wild circular motion
    And roaring engines hum
    Causing great commotion
    With all this wear and tear
    It's sure to break down

    The inner workings will vibrate out of harmony
    And come undone with a chattering clamoring clatter
    Belts snap and steel thunder claps
    Detached in mystic river flow
    Who is writing this
    I will never know

    Slipped away
    Gone with the violet sunrise
    Penetrating rays now beaming from my eyes
    I guess this is farewell
    You know I had a good show
    What a shame it is
    One I will never know

    Thanks man. This is more of a premonition than anything else. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    despite the mechanical metaphor ;), I sure enjoyed this a lot. I was going to say I liked the last 2 stanzas the best, but it was all good.

    Thanks man. It's interesting how we both had the same kind of thing going on. Only my machine is my mental state and not my physical body.

    Unlock a phrase and turn a daze into a maze with a prize in the center. You are your world's own inventor, and I of all vehicles appreciate that.

    Yeah, I felt it could have gone either way, physical or mental.
