Once was a Lonely Man

Years it had been
Pain was his routine 
slept in Penury, comforted by Wilt 
awaiting Utopia, drowned by Love, 
he was held captive   


Leap of Faith knew then she  
was behooved be taken
by this lonely man whose
Life demands be spent in the realm
of arduous Parentage
So he went


To the greenest fields     
to the whitest snows,
frozen, nostalgic, endured
"Liberty, I breathe!" 
his eyes would show
it had been years,
Yes! it had been years


Returning, anticipating   
all with Vicissitude
Affluence, he achieved!
captive no more, indeed!
never did he leave his duty, 
accountable in all ways
he is Home


Only, he discern not what awaits,  
indistinct, unrecognized, 
he was changed
Diffidence, Love, Chastity, gone!
but never shall he heed for,
apart from Mind, no one he believed
