Heart, where is your shield?
You face your dangers daily
Alone and unprotected
When you would be betrayed
Turned away, rejected
With no choice left but to yield
Heart, where is your shield?
Mind, where is your clarity?
Clouds of wonders rise and surge
And pull you from your appointed rounds
Delights and joy on you they urge
That when you seek will not be found
And all around, smug charity
Mind, where is your clarity?
Soul, where is your peace?
How often do you dream of rest
And progress on your path, free from trouble?
How were you made to think it best
That all existence be an endless struggle
Where fears and sorrows cannot but increase?
Soul, where is your peace?

So who wrote this? You?
ReplyDeleteYes, of course.
DeleteCongratulations for this very good and heartfelt poem.
DeleteI’m not good about dates, but it fits perfectly with my memories, I will not be able to forget it, of the extreme sorrow your face showed next time I saw you afterwards.. Sorry if I broke your heart so deeply. I regret it has been not possible for you to talk about it even nowadays.
