the 'Valley of Vision' - the plains of derision <br />has caught my eye - ripping out my bossom <br />lay captive my heart - tethering claws <br />captured my wandering mind - release nether the vagabond <br /> <br />your cup sends me reeling - tumbling venom drenched <br />a haughty tower trembling - quiver in the cold of night <br />never again to be rebuilt - ever awash on the shore <br /> <br />two men once hung from a tree - condemnation rife <br />the one cursed his life upon himself - excluded realities <br />the other condemned eternally - for him accursed vindication <br /> <br />neither the valley nor in the plain - hope prescribe <br />did the eye cast its mark - vision bright become <br />felled by projectile true - delight, darkened demise <br />a day no one can rue - smite the wanderlust of hope<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-them-that-know-not/
