WHERE?

l stand alone, on Times vast plain,
Alone with my life today,
And ask of the echoes what I've missed
Where did 1 lose my way?
There is something wrong, can not tell
If the fault be mine or thine.
Oh Time I so blind, thou,
Vast thou, then, less benign?
There is something amiss in all these years.
something could not find,
That my soul has craved so earnestly,
That was whispered in the wind.
There seemed reckoning hand, Away,
An urging to reach some goal
All underlined, place of peace,
haven for weary souls.
But today alone wonder why
l have sought through years in vain
One single joy to be my own,
And have found at last but pain.
Where is the luck We read about?
Where do the sorrows flee?
1t seems that have passed luck by,
Or luck has sighted me.
