ONCE
i was once pure,healthy and wholei had a shining conscience, a brightly lit soul
i had glimpses of the Divine harmony
i had wings so bearutiful and so many
i knew not strife, grief or despair
i had freedom where none had a share
i was endowed with beauty and an exuisite grace
i had inner beauty that shone upon my face
i was free, joyous, kind and so loving
i had not a care. i was content, only in giving
i had Hope,Mercy, a special blessing
my heart overflowing often used to sing
i flowered out so delicately and fragrant
of every mess in the world blissfully ignorant
i poured my heart's love to everyone
i kept giving of my self refused none
i was created with such fragile innocence
to each one's need i responded in every sense
i offered affection to one and all
i answered every distressed one's call
soon, too soon, my heart was broken
in betrayal. i still carry it as a token
i am scarred, crippled for life
i want to sever my breath with a knife
i am corrupted. tainted with sin upon sin
i am lost, frightened like an ugly thing
i am sad alone scared and so tired
to make me thus even fate conspired
i am ready. come, please come soon, death
i await your arrival with bated breath
collected works sight
SORRY
