Scattered pieces

No shadow of turning, look into onward
I shall not be returning 
steadfastness in my wake
forward strident steps I take
yet when the darkness closes in my haunted past is here again

‘O’ where is peace for thy soul to rest
 hungry wolves are at my breast 
  thumping, jumping heartening thud
forgive me lord for there is no rest
 a hatchling sparrow falls from the nest   
with a golden crown upon her crest 

Sadness in my glance, which they judge
quivering tremble of a beaten cub
misattribution of a splintered grudge
besets the future, lays a fragile bludge
fresh running stream that instead
Is a path to the life of a settled trudge
