Time and Fate Have This Grievous Lesson Taught

Time And Fate Have This Grievous Lesson Taught Of all the virgin fields I once plowed There were many meadows of purest gold Not one to enjoy being in a crowd Prideful that my honor never was sold I in my haste once truly lost my way Allowing Love to over me thus rule I now understand and rule that dark day For my stark blindness and being a fool. As this too oft dark world seeks to destroy Trap was set, she a sensual creature Her ultimate goal take away my joy Her ravishing beauty, her great feature I dreamed, I begged for her sweet love And she with her darkness played along She was the ravenous wolf, I the dove Teaching me depths of saddest lost love song. Time and Fate have this grievous lesson taught Fake love, lie in it - you will soon be caught. Robert J. Lindley, 4-08-1991
