And the Desperate Heart Seeks To Atone

And The Desperate Heart Seeks To Atone there is an echo, down canyons of stone, its sorrows beg relief, yet the white clouds above, each sings on all alone and the desperate heart seeks to atone, there lies regretful thoughts for ill winds blown wherein no redemption, no heartache grants reprieve to squelch those bad seeds sown, and bitter fruits born from the dark unknown, there darkest of blights swells into decay, its rot festering deep, no salvation comes, as bitter harvest stays within Time's walls of foreboding delay, there is an echo, down canyons of stone, its sorrows beg relief, yet the white clouds above, each sings on all alone and the desperate heart seeks to atone, Robert J. Lindley, presented 7/19/2020 Rhyme, ( A thought, a view, a heartache deep born )
