Full of enthusiastic curiousity
I often go in search of mystery,
nothing new under the sun,
denying the truth of oblivion ?
time is a man made thing,
heathens have nothing to bring,
every secret has its owner,
so fetch the jeweller,
each facet a part of the whole,
catch the truth in the bowl,
reach for the secret within,
every blow glancing off the chin,
truth the lemon to my gin.
