'Found-old ring' <br />Someone out there is lost without a ring... <br />That to another one meant everything <br />Didn't it match? didn't it fit? <br />It is gone-did it ever exist? <br />The jewels that lay scattered over the floor <br />The barehanded people cannot endure... <br /> <br />The anguish <br />Of reducing such sentiment <br />To the lever of littered pavement <br />Where eyes casting downward must look to see <br />The intimation deserted lately <br />Each symbol makes further testimony <br />In the trial of what was meant to be... <br /> <br />Who found it? <br />Let me meet the one who knew its meaning <br />Because I suspect the recovering <br />Was not fortune-nor coincidence <br />Nor the just act of Providence <br />But that one who possesses it in fact <br />Was the one who I gave to and took it back... <br /> <br />The hope that it meant anything has left <br />With the article stolen in the theft <br />But I can't stop searching again... <br />Anymore, <br />Than I can believe it never happened <br />The emotion rests now with conviction <br />A life sentence of that consecration... <br /> <br /> <br />COPY WRITE©2009<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lost-ring-found/
