Literature Text

Wand'ring through the forest dark,
Where shall I be to lead and breathe
My new vitality?

The lonely sky, so high
Above the forest bark?
Or prowling low
Beneath the dark undergrowth?

Winding the sinews of my heart,
What drink of love or burning blood
Shall fuel my new mortality?

What fire scorch my life force
Bubbling in my sprawling veins?
The night's dark insight, or
The golden sun's mane, so bold and bright?

My soul inflates my chest;
What vessel is best to begin my quest
For true immortality?

Will the great tyger's fearsome fire
Bestow me fearful symmetry?
Or will the albatross, with
Wings of frailty, carry me across?

But if I'm the one who sits and asks
And I'm to make the mold and cast,
What does that make me?
I've spent about an hour writing this, though it's been a while since I've managed to put something out. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think that mechanically and verbally, it's one of my much better pieces. I think it's really lacking something as a concept, however. I'd really like to hear what you guys have to say about it. 

Tear into it, appreciate it, whatever.
