Weakness

And so of weakness I must say

it comes and goes most every day

and implants the thought into my mind

that soon it will not go away.

But how to banish thoughts from mind

has puzzled me this life

because no matter what befalls

thoughts sleep then come alive.

I know each page must be turned

before the story can unfurl

but the words upon the page before

into my mind have been burned.

But I turn the pages one by one

for soon I’ll know there’s only love

that can and will write new lines

for what was then dusted, done!
