Wherein doth lie despair <br />Thus to raise it's hoary head <br />All happiness happily to despoil? <br />Betwixt hallow'd contentment <br />And cruel honesty <br />Doth it lie; <br />Feasting there on future's dream <br />Clawing bloody love's pale shadow <br />And in it's foul insistence <br />Doth force all hope to flee, <br />All faith dimm'd eyes to see...<br /><br />Kevin Wyndham Heard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-no-3-the-awakening/
