Eternally Lost

A vision of prayer for a drop of rain
thoughts of a plan to save his lost
a wisp of dream all the while insane

thoughtful for a simple hope 
grounded in eternal loss
reflected to the universe

an open sore is salted 
an abyss separates all 
and tomorrow is here 

knock knock and only the wind replies
knock knock and weeping takes seat
the man of eternal regrets who finds at last 
what once he refused to seek
