He Wonders (poem)
He wonders how his world got out of hand
What madness chased the one he loved away
That lovers have such hurtful things to say
Is something now he cannot understand
-
He wonders through his world of disarray
Was this the paradise that they had planned
Their love it seems was just a brittle strand
A fragile dream in search of its own day
-
He wonders how his world could hold such pain
And every heartbeat only promised more
There seemed no limit to a soul’s despair
-
He wonders now their world he might regain
As dreams now turn toward shadow at the door
And through his tears he sees his lover there
