Hours enthralled by cryptic signs,
with ancient tomes and riddled
rhymes.
Gleaning facts from mystic lores -
and still she never sought divorce.
-
On summers days the children
play;
Daddy’s here:) - but far away:(
Beauty present - pure, divine,
her love lost to his distant mind.
-
Final truth then comprehended -
no excuse can be defended;
years abandoned misconstruing -
She’d always known, “it’s in the
doing.”
