Pining Be Joy Subdued Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Pining Be Joy Subdued



Pining
Opportunity on opportunity
Lost
I'm grieving.

My heart is rending
In all this pining.
I
That am the Statue of Sadness
Ridiculous puppet of lost
Chances and sadness.

Yet
In my pining
There's a little underlining
Lose all:
The chains fall
Amidst the peaks of sadness
A green vale
At last
Of joy, but subdued
Subdued joy sinking.
