SomeDay by James G. Piatt
…your idle thoughts will wed the
wistful wind and your sorrows will
merge with winter’s shadows.
…your yearnings will lay prostrate
in a field of dreams, and your memories
will lurk behind the sun’s hot beams.
…your only nourishment will come
from flowers in a lea, and your
knowledge will be squelched by
sermons from the dais.
