Lady Mary

She comes in so many forms
But in each her effect is so divine
No matter the delivery
She distills the pain into wine

Human quest for fleeting joy
Seems a cruel joke in a cold universe
Being alive with questions
Is a wonder that evolves into a curse

In those times that I desire
To turn off the crisis and forget
In an effort to escape
All of the learned pain and regret

I digest I drink and I inhale
Whatever sweet concoction you provide
Which grants me a pass to leave
The war being waged deep down inside

But in all things moderation
So sayeth a wise person from the past
Sometimes one has to endure
Whether its suffering or having a blast

Confusing and without conclusion
This verse is like getting good and high
Makes me feel good right now
But does not help me figure out why
