Thinking of your work and life, a yearning <br />to earn much more; <br />where now I do lack all kinds of good things, <br />where you deplore <br />me for my lack to breed, build and to become <br />great as before; <br />still I have a good sense of confidence <br />while my words are reaching for excellence. <br /> <br />Yet with similar conviction I am <br />still reaching out <br />to a world that is beyond all human sight, <br />loud you may shout <br />and act in word and deed very harshly <br />and bring about <br />great acts of violence and great strife <br />while unseen forces of darkness wreck my life; <br /> <br />but hours and days of utter loneliness <br />wreaks their havoc <br />and forever ticking and running on <br />is the old clock; <br />wealth and snobbism enfolds you like a cloak; <br />running amok <br />are the words and deeds of my enemies <br />while constantly I only long for peace.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thinking-of-your-work-and-life-cavatina-sequence/
