Remember I the times sore,
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.
Besetment assail’d from above,
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. 
There sat I at sixes and sevens,
Dazed at what just befell.
For at the bridge knew not I,
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.

<p>Remember I the times sore,<br />
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.<br />
Besetment assail’d from above,<br />
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. </p>
<p>There sat I at sixes and sevens,<br />
Dazed at what just befell.<br />
For at the bridge knew not I,<br />
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.</p>
<p>How did such beauty and perfection cease?<br />
Why my imaginary cloud shapes no longer pleased?<br />
For the bright blessed day of just 5 minutes,<br />
Now overcast acerbity.</p>
<p>Though things may sometimes I never know,<br />
Left unsolved it may best be so.<br />
Memories more precious for there in Heart stays,<br />
But storms will eventually dissipate.</p>
<p>With time I sat the more I knew,<br />
Darkest clouds too come and go.<br />
Silver linings are there always,<br />
When storms pass there they glow. </p>
