I have reaped a bitter harvest <br />I have sowed seeds that are sad <br />I have balanced all my wealth in life <br />Against the things i had <br />My children are away from me <br />My father has just died <br />My heart it is a'weaping <br />And my soul feels crucified <br />Each grain in that balance <br />Is much heavier than lead <br />My eyes are aged - my feelings flayed <br />My joy it is now dead <br />Oh why should all this happen? <br />Oh what does all this mean? <br />My longing for connection <br />Not the space that lies between.<br /><br />David Keig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bitter-harvest/
