Until the lost drop

Until the last drop (pindaric ode)
Oh woah to his soul, he is a brave boy
Lost to the dull, for he is clever and coy
Savor his life, for it is played like a toy
Until the last drop, falls from his joy


If he shall live, brave is what he is
Nowhere to go, his mind is at bliss
His life is a timer, set from desires
Until the last drop, falls to the fires


He's casteless; adrift; does not even fit
Times wasteful; omit; the fire is lit
Past glimmer's; commit; he is every bit
Until the last drop, falls in the pit


His place; believe; it's where he belongs
Time’s careful; Patience, sings his sad song
Past remembers; vigilance defines not at all
Until the last drop, defines his last fall


He feels alone, but this is not foreign
There is a part of him that just isn't soarin’
A pain reminds him, this emotion roarin’
Until the last drop; reminds him next mornin’


He's never forgotten, despite life's intent
For that one part of him, was life's greatest hint
A pain to remember, but to thrive where he's bent
Until the last drop begins its descent


Two great sides his story does tell
Until the last drop falls down the wishing well
