Legerdemain

Legerdemain

Delve deep into your somber soul
What keeps you young, will also make you old
Don’t be denied, the devil may care
Tribulation arrives when all is fair

Before evening tide, after the evening feast
Recollection will apprise the beast
From your spring of charm, conjure a friend
Ask if this is the start or is this the end

Send your lucid eyes to the periphery of life
Sustain yourself sturdily, along shall come strife
Never languish before your weakened peers
Loath the master that brings forth those fears

The simplicity of a vulgar display
Feel antipathy when you don’t get your way
For simple minds or petty impressions
Don’t enter into the day of misconceptions

Coming forth into a new age of prodigy
Say farewell to your worthless commodities
Bewildered by the fog and the misty haze
You have no time for one of those days

Form your preserverence into a sanctioned emotion
Hear with intention and steadfast your devotion
Validate your senseless trepidations
Let your controlling influence fight the condemnations…
