When is truth (1980's)by Rick Delmonico

I could have used the time today,
or something to believe.
The strain was on me.

But I've seen no sign my way,
or comforts to relieve,
till it's you that I see.

Suspended on the vanising point, your eyes are all I see.
I wonder at this renaissance that surely sets me free.

I could have drawn the line today,
to hold back or deceive
the pain before me.

It could be so fine you say,
with blessings to receive.
When is truth what I see?

Suspended on a conscious whim, are wants all that I need?
They echo like a thunderstorm, recalling darker deeds.

Rick Delmonico

vanising - vanishing? Good poem otherwise I like the change in tempo that almost reads like a chorus.
