The Shape Lies HidA Poem by Nick WarwickComing down the years behind Backlit by what has passed Coming through to only now A puzzled, heated, furrowed brow Strapped hard to memory's mast This moment can but last Ah - moments form a maelstrom keen This rising tide of pain In heaving seas we ride the swell A lifelong hope prepares the knell Of truth, that gentle rain Removes all thought of gain The ocean known as All Of Time The droplet lives it holds The whole comprises final ends Beginnings, stories, twists and bends The shape our blindness moulds Lies hid in chance's folds
