I thought I knew the answer
to a long awaited fate
to something more than nothing
yet nothing nearly great
and so absorbed in confidence
all else I brushed aside
but found that I had tossed away
old truth which once did hide

HOODWINKED !!!
Silver Ink,
This poem has good flow and depth of meaning. While I was reading this I rearranged some of your words. I read it this way:
I thought I knew the answer
to a long awaited fate
to something more than nothing
yet nothing nearly great
and so absorbed in confidence
I brushed all else aside
but found that I had tossed away
old truth I could not hide.
This probably changes the meaning you had intended for this poem but this is what came to me. Good poetry involves the reader and stirs imaginations. This poem was a delight to read. Thanks for sharing.
You have been hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits today because We Care!
