the ones who guide have not seen
all the map
but are so confident in their deep
sense
of this old world that their most
sharp intense
demand does not presage some sort
of trap
and yet we fall the pain comes in a
slap
we have been fooled there's no
means of pretense
the shock is sudden and the hurt
immense
and it will take a whole life to
unwrap
the meaning that is hidden in the
deep
caverns of time in which we now
must hide
both pain and fortune still there
is a while
between the losses and the hope we
keep
where salves exist for both respect
and pride
and in that space the memory of a
smile
