Have you walked where you've never been and it felt more then just familiar...


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've walked this way on hallowed ground
In riches and rags I've been around
I've looked in to the eyes of love,
As I've watched the roses wither

With chill of spin I know not how
The one true rose will bloom
As it has before this time,
In a crescent harvest moon
Each time, loving him more and more
As I am as infinity, love never ends,
over and over it begins

My last time here in battles defeat
It took me out in wounded pleat
I ware the scares of gallant pride
On victorious dreams I ride

In this life I know that I shall heal
To rejoin the world as it is sealed
Am I a worrier? No say not
I fought for riches I never got

'Tis peace in heart, I've not found
In hollowed hills, on battle grounds
Many souls have passed my way
And onto the heavens, where they shall stay
As I only dream of such a day, with love in arms to take my place

As I turn each corner, and know I've been
And ten thousand more, that I shall spend
I'll see the eyes again and again
For the eyes that close are not far gone
they are not at rest,
they have just moved on
To a place like here, with just new names
Yet faces and places are all the same

Though some don't know just where or when
If they have seen, and are back again
Inside of them they know not
Splendor of sorrow is what they got

They are the players of stories in the poets verse
They too bare the weight of this curse
Time will pass as peace they seek
As again in new life they meet

you worked on this poem, didn't you? It shows. You have some wonderful similes in here. Great job. It moved so smoothly from verse to verse.
