Once Cast Into Stormy Winds, Words Decrying Fate

Once Cast Into Stormy Winds, Words Decrying Fate

I bid adieu, life and hidden glory not found
in defiance I speak from this high lofty height
once slaving in destructive blindness, firmly bound
to mortal arrogance, rage born in dark of night
Final words, I utter before I make this leap
you that slayed me, your false victory may keep!

R.J. Lindley, March 11th, 1978
Rhyme, ( Verses born after deep betrayal )
( Staring into eternity and roaring against Fate's black hands )

I am so happy to be back reading your poetry again Robert. My modem was not working for several days and I really miss being able to read poetry. Hawaiian Telcom guy came out and put in a new modem and a new cable and now I can enjoy reading poetry again. I enjoyed this piece and I hope you’re well my friend? Blessings xxoo
