Restatement

Reach out from dark decline, outline fine way
Away from self-destruction's beaten track, -
Voyage which solace, balm, may often lack, -
Entrapping wings within self-pinionned sway.
Niggardly release, piecemeal display,
Drawn lines stress signs, expressing ruin, rack,
All thread together, Time sped led to stack
Regrets, complaints, fears, tears, spell fell dismay.
Know Chance may flow gulf stream of comfort, may
Restate free state of mind behind days black,
Award reward, instead of taking back
Venture backed by hopes of yesterday.
Exit from world unjust new entrance finds,
NIRVANA not VAIN RAN unbinds free minds...
