<\/p>\n
Sternly perched upon mine heart<\/p>\n
One word echoed unbendingly<\/p>\n
True\u2014 I said as it would depart<\/p>\n
Its one worded reply\u2014 almost knowingly<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the future made haste<\/p>\n
With what was already known<\/p>\n
For this one\u2014word embraced<\/p>\n
It\u2019s predictability and its only answer found\u2014<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lying in the core of my bosom\u2014 my left breast<\/p>\n
Unyielding\u2014 unlike the heavens abode<\/p>\n
For it\u2014 I said, it always confessed<\/p>\n
The very same answer that it had foreshadowed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For words then from my own heart<\/p>\n
Transformed desiring\u2014its reply<\/p>\n
For then when my question was found to depart<\/p>\n
Those most truthful words were then the prophecy\u2014<\/p>\n
