Leave

An interlude of spawned achieve
I felt some cursory, like a thief
had stolen my domain, my chief -
while watching rivers flow, bereaved!

Not war - not other answers brief
not ideology's retrieve,
and for some languoring, I did receive
that love as innocent life's conceive.

How solemn that all time believes ...
while man takes armor, as his leave!
