Poema " LIFE "

LIFE

                  Where have the people gone

Whom I loved so long ago

Their places are now so filled

With such anguish and worry?

Where are those who loved me

Who held me so precious and dear

Their distance now measured in light years

When once they were so near?

Where are the far away places

That my feet used to trod

Those happy hills and valleys

So filled with the love of God?

Where are the dreams

That once were my undying light

The beautiful lofty visions

That gave me days without nights?

Where is my youth

Oh God! it is gone away

And left me empty without hope

In a state that has no day

Where are you death

Oh! why do you linger so

Don’t you know your presence is needed

To end this terrible worry

Oh God! where are your promises

Why do you forsake me so?

Save me from this flood of tears

As you did once to ancient Noe!

At suffer from the alchemy of sin

Which burdens my heart and need

Replacing the gold in my life

With blemished unsightly dead…

So, for delicious sin my life

Did lose its value and worth

And now is only

At a bitter end!
