Fallen Dreams

Oh, we of tattered plumage through no fault but our own.

Fallen into hades as though sundered by a stone. 

The leaders that we followed behaved of lowest rank.

While the path we hoped for upward to the depths now we have sank. 

Tis not the grasp of ankles pulling with the weight of boulders.

Nay my friends tis feckless leaders standing on our shoulders

We are having our first laying snowfall this morning in Springfield,Ohio. December 1,2010 what a way to enter this month. It is absolutely beautiful and finds me in good spirits. I have enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Gregory. Looking forward to reading more. Have a wonderful day. Love, Carol
