A Middling Sense of Achievement

Holy Grail Did it hurt when you fell from a fairy tale? Dropped like snow and hit like hail Rode a rainbow on a rail To take your case to God Did you fall apart in the evening When the days were far too dark You were busy in the woods that winter When the journey home felt too far Did you let me leave in silence After living through the war I wonder what you wanted now And what you had needed before Did it hurt when you drank from a holy grail? Smelled like spit and hit like ale Finally checked your brother's mail And lost your faith in God
