To seek yourself is to hold yourself, to bridge the madness of the world to your oftentimes incommensurable needs; to resign yourself is to put yourself at the mercy of something higher, to engage freedom with smiling eyes. The incomparable offer of religion.

What Damien Rice Inspires

A foreign poet's twisted smile, uncanny,
Sleeping love once lost, bleeding now
The sadness of its past, lost, regained
With nine-tenths kindess quenched
By the fire of incandescent smiles.
Life's a rambling dream, sweet dreamers,
Poor are those whose time is up,
And fall again to this false-real world.
But then again a bitter side lingers,
Corrupts, destroys, sweetens the bright,
Haggles the shimmering endless stream
Of time, time, time, inexorable tonight.
