Reminiscence Song

Where the road meets the sky
I'm tracing a kiss from the girl of my dreams
Framed by Rocky Mountain high
Painted in red rouge
Standing before an emotional deluge
Lit by the evening sun's brilliant beams
So it seems
I'm destined to pick up every piece of me
Scattered and torn asunder along the way
Still I'm teaching my eyes how to see

The love that turns night into day
A sketch of the slow dawning of truth
Reflections of these memories I still cling to

I'm ready to sing it now...

These days I can't help but laugh
At the shape of my weary heart
Threadbare at the hour of aftermath
Oh but it's been so long
A reminiscence song
sung so blue
I don't pretend to be a singer
But tonight I'm remembering you
In song

Where the path branches ever higher
I'm stealing moments with the girl of my dreams
Colored by love's sacred fire
Set alight in the dark
Silhouetted couples searching for the spark
Love, were you born to set the scene
Sowing the seems
Back together like no one else ever could
For you're my compass and Northern Star
Leading me out of the darkest woods
There's no measurement of just how far
For me to come crawling back to you
Reflections of the one I dedicate this song to

And I'm singing it out loud...

"He turns his money into light to look for her" - U2, 'Lemon'

Your poetry is so fine,  I only wish I could listen your words put to music.
You're a class act good poet.

So beautifully done, soul drifter.
