Lost In Thought - Sq

Example for my Swap Quatrain Contest, Check it Out

 He came to see his long lost love
 To put together the pieces thereof
 As blossoms fell from off the tree
 His long lost love, he came to see

 They told him that she was not there
 His old flame who was so fair
 Disappointment left him flat
 She was not there, they told him that

 He walked away lost in thought
 As memories of her to him were brought
 He hoped to find her another day
 Lost in thought, he walked away

 She would remain forever lost
 As all his searches he did exhaust
 Within his heart he felt the pain
 Forever lost she would remain

Lost love can leave one feeling empty. Sometimes all that is left for us is to pick up the pieces and move on. When one door closes God always opens another. God Bless, JB
