Perpetual Adoration is Gone Today
A poem about crushing disappointment taken personally by ED 4/14/22
Has His face turned away
Because I’ve gone astray
Wanted things to go my way
Never thought I’d see the day
No more radiant splendor
Petitions returned to sender
In this world no other mentor
For the mind of a sick love-spender
The currency unused and unreal
As blank hearts try to feel
Fear what’s under the seal
Wounds I won’t let heal
From a petty soul-stealing grifter
To the professional sand-sifter
Unleash the heavy-lifter
To see the wind blow swifter
Constancy taken for granted
For viewpoints flipped or slanted
When the truth exposed is ranted
New love-seeds are planted
