For What Vanity
by Ronnie Martin

Album: From the Womb of the Morning, The Dew of Your Youth Will Be Yours

Art reflects these articles of blight
For what vanity
You malign the myriad winsome sighs
For what vanity, what facsimile

Sing for gladness, sing for sorrow
You hold my depths in your grasp
Centuries past, what hope tomorrow?
Loss is the sphere where we bask

Moments from the shimmering decline
For what vanity
Artifacts, voluminous entwined
For what vanity, what facsimile

For what vanity, what loss
For what vanity, what gloss
For what vanity, what loss
