Poetry: ONLY GOD KNOWS

Truly, time is far spent
And what seemed so strong had been and gone;
So much I’d forgotten in six years –
So much in six brief years.

Beguilingly, the past crawled by
Managed, somehow, to conceal
Its chances and regrets.
Its footprints fading vast through
The slippery hands of fate uncaught
Though its voice still reach for my tired soul.

Too dark are its waters to swim through,
Too high are its tides to glide upon.
And the chances it took, the promises it held,
Those, only God knows... only God knows.
