Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

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,

 Rhyme, ( A thought, a view, a heartache deep born )
