Claire V. Bogdanos

I have wandered lost on streets of concrete

Where one accepts the result of defeat

My heart cried out in its journey unknown

And hugged its armor of asphalt and stone.

I have traveled this world hoping to learn

The turn of a phrase or toss of a coin

But discover at last I’ve been undone

And conclude this vision remains unwon !

Time has come and gone and finally flown

And has left me here lamenting alone

Oh would that we’d find a peaceable end

In the comfort of God, angel and friend !
