"what roundelay" [ghazal]
While the past is drained away the now subsists
as the piper gains his pay the now subsists
in the dawn extinct redemption sealed our fate
in the dusk of fortune's day we now subsist
I forgot what brought me here I've lost the roadmap!
at the parting of each way the now subsists
I should love to join their argument & brawl
can my tongue but dully say the now subsists?
in my youth I looked to poetry seeking green
has the scene all gone to gray? what now subsists?
when Ardeo strove to sing romantic lays
his musicians slipped away who now subsists?
flowers bloom on far horizons friends assured me
can you glimpse them through the fray that now subsists?
barely breathing! it's a sign of gracious love
mercy's shy to show her play that now subsists
lonely dogs delight in barking in the eve!
morning's donkeys love to bray while now subsists
this could seem that lovelorn note my soul inscribed
this might be the way it prayed that now subsists
if you seek him where he lives Ardeo's niche
nestles westward from dismay he now subsists
in the silence of the deep Ardeo gleamed
could you heed what roundelay there now subsists?
as the piper gains his pay the now subsists
in the dawn extinct redemption sealed our fate
in the dusk of fortune's day we now subsist
I forgot what brought me here I've lost the roadmap!
at the parting of each way the now subsists
I should love to join their argument & brawl
can my tongue but dully say the now subsists?
in my youth I looked to poetry seeking green
has the scene all gone to gray? what now subsists?
when Ardeo strove to sing romantic lays
his musicians slipped away who now subsists?
flowers bloom on far horizons friends assured me
can you glimpse them through the fray that now subsists?
barely breathing! it's a sign of gracious love
mercy's shy to show her play that now subsists
lonely dogs delight in barking in the eve!
morning's donkeys love to bray while now subsists
this could seem that lovelorn note my soul inscribed
this might be the way it prayed that now subsists
if you seek him where he lives Ardeo's niche
nestles westward from dismay he now subsists
in the silence of the deep Ardeo gleamed
could you heed what roundelay there now subsists?

This is totally away from the subject - forgive me - I just realized while going through past comments that I did not use the 'words' you had sent me for my newest story. I'm very sorry. It was an oversight. All I can say is that my time was quite hectic then and I neglected to use several other words also.
If you don't mind, I would like to use your words for my next story. I will alert you when it's done.
