End To Symphony
The jester came to sit upon my knee,
and drop tears that failed to wet,
as, if in loss, it was imaginary
and not the real image of love,
just pieces of dream and comments,
memories, all boxed and framed
neatly, with no dust or covered top,
removed from indicative purpose,
there being no activity to any
moment, or suggestion to solution.

The lover realized that patience
is a long-winded contender
in time's attache and, perhaps,
feelings would emerge later
if any loss should finally surface
dreaming of what was not
opposed in the center of the
mind's eye that is clouded
in reason shards that it was
not to be from conception.

The waking conscience
could not but help to analyze
from which sprang a wonderment
that pain's seeds were not sown,
that sorrow did not shake inside,
more a dullness of acceptance,
a riding expectation of the
occurrence, like a tiny messenger
in wait to deliver the final notes
of the dark symphony to end.
