Sometimes

I sat there to reflect a while
Each mirrored arch a circle made
The bridge where once the trains had run
Why did you go,could you have stayed

And lone swan on the water swims
Where mills of old and waterwheel
The cotton spun and yarn to tell
And chilling wind no warmth I feel

But sometimes in the whispered wind
I hear your voice my name to call
The sun now on the water shines
But as before the leaves will fall

And sometimes in the Autumn mist
I see you dance upon the lake
The echoes of our words of Love
The sands of Time will never take

And sometimes grief a waterfall
And sometimes bright I see your smile
And sometimes Love within your eyes
And sometimes I just rest a while

Another day reflect again
This pool so dark no life within
As lone swan swims beneath the arch
The other side new life begins

And truly as the Lake reflects
A circle seen as if it's true
A band of gold a circle too
Reflects my Love,so true,for you.

I really like this... beautiful write!

thanks suthern
this refers to a lake near home with a now dis-used raiway bridge running over. The bridge has a number of arches, and the sun sets behind the bridge in the evening.
