Lament

A mind can find the universe                             
But my heart can't find yours
All things live unto themselves
So why do I feel like Death's joke?
If I could but reach out to you
Take your hand, touch your thoughts
I would plant the seed of love
In hope that I might reap in Fall
That which was once mine

Why did we part
Not only in being
But even in thought
Like two who never knew,
Never saw the Sun.

Oft' I wonder how I came
To be so tired of Life
To lose the feelings of good
And look at each day as only another
A copy of those before
And their sameness mocks me
Saying to me, "You Fool!"
And harming me more and more
As I learn how true they are

Where does love go?
How can it die
Where went it's strength
Why does it fade
Could it be lack of interest

I long to face the winds of life
And let them bathe my face
With their sweet beauty
But that time must wait
For I've lost my right to live
And only one can change my fate
But she is masked in society
And has no wish for me                              D  E  Siwel  1/1
