    Lost Memory

     I find no way, no way out
    Of this darkness that covers me
    And although, although I sought
    Things to come, to come to me

    They are all lost,
    lost in the wailing wind of sorrow
    They are all gone,
    Never to see, never a tomorrow

    And memories, which I clung to
    So deperately, so needily
    Are lost, not within reach
    As nothing, nothing is within me

    But I ask myself a question:
    Is all lost what could never be?
    For, are all the things I hoped for,
    Just a simple, effervescent dream?

    I like the repetition. The poem is very rhythmic and thought provoking. I think this is an issue we all ponder from time to time.

    Thank you so much! That was exactly what I was going for.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
