I remember well that moonlit night My eyes were touched with a second sight I had come to face a lonely death To find my peace in a dying breath As in this case so often thought The last place I looked I would have caught The one so long been searching for Waking above the foam swept shore I assumed I'd travelled everywhere For the one I know was always there And in each eye cast blazing stars This time they did not seem so far She raised me high into her hands Lifted me up and made me stand To fly across the boundless skies I could only stare into her eyes Inside I saw where sorrow slept So many tears that she had wept Into the cold and salty sea Never again to be for me She set me down in a field of snow Then i saw that she meant to go Such a feeling to realize The last I'd look into her eyes I cried to the heavens from my soul That she'd come back to make me whole And as I screamed into the night I saw two stars shining bright And though my heart felt so hollow I just knew I had to follow The path that stretched far from view The path that led me here to you Standing so proud with you my love Eyes as brilliant as those above That keep there vigil forevermore High above the foam swept shore [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 07-07-2000).] |

I remember this as being one of your best serious works. I love it now as then. Beautiful, romantic, and passionate. Well described.Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Beautiful poem! This is my favorite part! Inside I saw where sorrow slept So many tears that she had wept Into the cold and salty sea Never again to be for me Debbie |
