Vanished

VANISHED I have no idea who or where but someone took it from me Perhaps it’s hiding between the horizon and the sea Or perhaps it’s now a cloud that whitens the sky It is undoubtedly gone and I know not who, where or why One night it was when I went to bed Everything I knew was stored in my head All the data, all the rules and all of the names There were also instructions on how to play their games Yesterday I was fluent in two languages and brail When varied tests were taken I’d never fail If someone said go there that’s where I went And I don’t know what caused this sudden descent This morning seemed empty and somehow dull And I’m certain the culprits can’t be the sea and a gull Somehow I felt ignorant and became irate and too tense Because it was there but now I’ve been robbed of my common sense © 2011.….Phreepoetree
