To Where You Are

Alone in this world, as she looks into space
The anguish shows clearly in her drawn face
Her gown embroidered with lace and gems
As she floats along, not knowing where she will end

Her life has been troubled, she has traveled far
The wounds on her mind, the scars in her heart
But never once has she given up or lost hope
For she has learned in this life, how to cope

The riverbank has a sweet lilac scent
As she approaches a turn just ahead
The sunset comes clearly into the view
As her heart is filled with thoughts so true

All that she owns she carries on her canoe
As she paddles along an enjoys the scenic view
The tears come as she sits by candlelight
As she stares into the lover’s moonlight

Is he out there looking for me?
Can it possibly be?
That he feels the loneliness inside me
And that I am the woman of his dreams

Come to me and fulfill my needs
Let me feel love burning inside of me
Touch me and give me sweet release
Come out of my dreams and give my heart peace!

Wow....A longing I know so well....you are so wonderfully descriptive in this piece. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, for it's simplicity, and for the images it conjures in the mind...thankyou for sharing
