A Troubled Mind
Lines written in early spring 1995

Oh silent discontentment, that brings trouble to my Soul,
E’en though my heart was filled with love and Joy.
Oh darkness that pervades, these inner depths of troubled Worlds,
I know not how to make my peace with thee.
You taunt me with forbidden fruits, and raise my deep desires,
Yet, I have passed this way before and know that sadness Waits,
To twist and turn, to tear and wrench, to make these fists of Anger clench,
This is one moment, I had wished, to pass so long ago,
And yet it lingers still!
