What I Cannot See
Virginia Salter

the stars are out and blazing
at least I think it’s true
on faith I stand that they’re still there
though shrouded in clouds from you

the gray you’ve placed upon my heart
with tears trickling down
it’s hard to see the day’s true start
when laden in this frown

dancing and prancing
go those who are else wise
leaping, not sleeping
capturing the prize

I, somehow, recall such times so spent
in glee and revelry
yet, now those times are harshly rent
and are naught but reverie

though sadness and gloom
would seek to destroy
it will be my victory
to look forward unto joy

so let not such sorrow
overtake your gladsome smile
just pray for me, as I shall thee,
and abide with me awhile

be it known that this is not my state of affairs, but merely contrived

good thing it's contrived..and I liked this verse,

I, somehow, recall such times so spent
in glee and revelry
yet, now those times are harshly rent
and are naught but reverie
