The Lost Season

Having lost the opportunity seasons past
For none scull against the River’s course
A choice was mine and mine alone
Never have I tasted such bitter remorse
Pleading for release of an unseen rendition:
The archived pilot that never aired.
A thousand drafts, revisions tenfold
Yet, with cast of one ‘twas never shared.
Fear and dejection jailed me once before
Shrouding truth deeper within.
Suppressed it seared, buried it burned
Relentless inferno raging beneath my skin.
No resolution breaks the darkening horizon.
Grace alone can charge Perdition's cease.
As the trod of death approaches day by day,
Thy holy wings will grant me peace.

Notes:
· Reference to ΦΩΦ pledge class name: The Relentless Raging Inferno
· “Day by Day” and “Thy Holy Wings” are two of my favorite hymns
