Threads: A Poem Unknown

 02/12/25

 

She wrote a poem 
I never knew; 
My failing heart 
Did not construe.

Wandering in 
Isolation; 
Loneliness my 
Consolation.

I failed to ask 
What's there for me? 
Afraid to face 
What I might see.

Easy to curse 
A wicked fate! 
How much did I 
Participate?

If I'd known of
Her starry dream; 
Sail the ocean 
To Eden's scene.

A doubting thought 
That I could do; 
But I would if 
Her poem I knew.
