I started an hour long playlist and began writing a poem - with the rule that whatever I had at the end of the hour would become this blog. When the last song finished, this is what I had:
Tiger of paper, yearning night
Haunt of the blind, learning sight
Talons of hawk, curving flight
Downfall of empires, burning light
Path of unknowing, forever obscured
Ship of fools, never moored
Freedom of ocean, sever the lure
End of plague, discover the cure
Mirror of memory, broken in time
Words of the jester, spoken in mime
Teeth of mountain, token of climb
Mind of machine, awoken from rime
Wisdom of forest, clinging to thought
Melody of songbird, singing untaught
Embrace of serpent, coiling and caught
Fading of mayfly, bringing to naught
Peace of death, wildflowers alive
Weakness of bees, power in hive
Plea of silence, tower denies
Beginning of end, the hour arrives
