Broken down
In a town
That is not home to me,

Nothing is
As everything was,
This is clear to see.

Signs have changed
Lanes rearranged,
I've lost my way,

Unkown,
Are these dark roads,
Nightmares, they come in loads,
Abandoned, all alone - To God I pray.

To find my way home
To warm arms
And a face that is lovingly known,
I want to find my way,

For this nightmare to end,
My heart and soul to steadily mend,
For the sunshine in my life
To shine on me - everyday.

Homesick...
It's easy to get lost,
Our souls pay the cost,
Our soulmates help us find the light,

Only true love
Can bring us home,
From them, our hearts never roam,
Only they, can make everything wrong,
Work out right.

We all get lost
From time-to-time,
Life isn't always kind,

God never leaves our side,
He sees everything--wide-eyed,
Unlike us - with eyes, we are still blind!

We all get lost
from time-to-time,
Should love spring also with Spring!?
Here birds and herds art all so whisp'ring;
O* all recall the bliss that thee Bliss brings!
Dale and combe, do entertain, o'erdue regales;
Sweet pipings piped twain boon nightingales;
Here a throng hears; here a throng sings.
A-strutting didst he; a ditzy strutter e'er go.
Gone so long•each to each•  is each woe,
O what if ten -
steal gentle,* O Woodruff!?
What if ten by hundred do so flee to steal away,
Lest the sadness's of Winter's existence thee allay,
SO would an woodland rill still rill all it could've?
Class: Irregular Ode
Tone: Positive with a tinge of Negatives
The Argument: Questioning if looking for Love in the brightest of places; "Nature" in the best of times, with the worst of Luck is a good idea. Woodruff is a type of plant, but also the name of the Protagonists dog
Double entendres throughout/ Wordplay in Title, and in the phrases, especially the phrases italicized such as: "Steal Gentle"(quietly sneak off or leave; or if you prefer dark Poetry it could mean die without a fight, "second meaning inspired by "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas ) & "Woodruff"  "Steel" being opposite of "Wood" and "Gentle" being opposite of  "Rough" /Selfsame Word Pairs also present
