On The Lakeshore Her golden radiance is frozen in time as she was standing by the lakeshore on a wooden deck in the July sunshine the mountains framing her face the look in her eyes etched inside my heart I can remember the time and place as the sky dimmed with silvery stars and we explored each other wandering up and down her skin in the dark and I said I loved her and I smile now at that naive remark I was turning eighteen, still green as the spring in the morning as I watched her awaken her deep ocean blue was inviting me and I'm amazed at the memories we were making My blue innocence is fading silently away memories of standing with her by the lakeshore arm around her, smiling for this blessed day the bright sky warm on my face looking into her heart left me feeling free I can remember the time and place as the world seemed wide open to me and we discovered each other wondering and wishing if this love will endure and I said goodbye to her and I smile now at that last lovely sight of her I was turning a new leaf over, as autumn closed in in the evening I watched the sun fall her deep ocean blue I wanted to drown in and I'm amazed at the quiet beauty of that lonely fall Tonight I'm uncovering pieces of myself I've left on the lakeshore tonight I'm wondering when my feet started wandering the pathway into the woods, beginning to blur drawn by the faint glow of her the Rocky Mountains dimming me and my raindrop memories the shadows close around me and I'm a little dark star in the black darkness, gleaming always I'm dreaming of the summer on the lakeshore eighteen and I'm wanting more from the life I'd been constructing till then wanting to know when I'll see her again hope I'll see you again on the lakeshore, softened by the wind Her golden radiance is frozen in the sun as she was standing by the lakeshore and I know now she wasn't to be my only one just a prologue to finding so much more in this rich tapestry of life "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |

"I'm amazed at the quiet beauty of that lonely fall" perfection. I have had some very beautiful falls as well. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Tonight I'm uncovering pieces of myself I've left on the lakeshore tonight I'm wondering when my feet started wandering the pathway into the woods, beginning to blur drawn by the faint glow of her the Rocky Mountains dimming me and my raindrop memories the shadows close around me and I'm a little dark star in the black darkness, gleaming always I'm dreaming of the summer on the lakeshore eighteen and I'm wanting more from the life I'd been constructing till then wanting to know when I'll see her again hope I'll see you again on the lakeshore, softened by the wind my oh my this was awesome....simply stunning |

soul drifter Many can relate to this, in a different place and time, where love hits and takes a part of you to keep, forever. This was great...really enjoyed! |
