"I think there is only one greatness for man. If a man can bridge the gap between life and death. I mean, if he can live on after he has died, maybe he was a great man. To me the only success, the only greatness, is immortality."--James Dean

A midnight pulse,
A dawn rhyme,
I feel my heart
Beating in time

Madness thrives,
Inside my head,
of lisztomania,
and words unsaid

A mind possessed,
solely by cadence,
clamorous thoughts
trying my patience

The author's comments:
This piece is essentially about how an insane mind is tamed by music. The madness is still there, just under control.
