THE UNKNOWN WAY, by                    
First Line: I knew the way, but somehow I have lost it
Last Line: Leaves ageless, countless memories behind?
Subject(s): Despair


I knew the way, but somehow I have lost it;
Faint inklings come from many ageless days.
The babblings all around have confused me,
And I have sought in other devious ways.
O spirit of that larger realm,
Lift up my self that I may see a-right;
My feeble efforts to see clearly
Seem in vain, for to me 'tis night.
What kingdom have I lost that I should be so sad?
Far greater joys exist; some wonderful
Companionship I know I've had.
What strange darkness is this that gathers o'er the mind
And makes us see one little span,
Leaves ageless, countless memories behind?
