    Midlife Night's Crisis
    Vices into Black
    Turning back the whisper words
    Reveal the feeling, 
    fleeting, sweetened
    You remember yesteryear
    The days have long and gone away
    The hours of long away and gone
    But longing to stay astray
    Just the same and anyway
    Allah guides and justly whom he will
    Just whom he wills and fills to see
    And yours is choice if only none
    Sun, moon, and stars allayed
    Lay siege to former fortress face
    Facing pages through the pain
    All of worldly passions past
    grasping all of that, outlast, remain
    Do not mourn the passing
    Of the other that it was
    Rejoice the the storming of the morning, 
    Lord of dawn, the firm informer
    Bandages the bloodied thief
    You are newly won again
    Every turn to infinite
    Every failure finding focus
    Doubles back to trace the fate
    Forward now.
