SHORTIES FROM FUSIONS

 

 

SHORTIES FROM FUSIONS 

 

By others every man unknown

with secrets hidden deep within.

Each man upon his private throne;

his inner self is sovereign.

 

Providence ordained that she

Should learn to bear infirmity

And yet the face she wore that night

Disguised her flee from fortune’s blight.

 

Of blowing winds which cool the face

And ruffle waters where I sleep

Soul to soul in torrents deep

Transported to a wild place.
