She walks slowly along the beach The lake is easily within reach The sand is warm on her feet Not a soul does she meet She looks far up ahead Feeling like she is being led The destination is not known But the feeling has grown The harbor calls out to her Things are not as they were Many years have now passed Countless memories she's amassed Once upon a time Before she hit her prime She walked along this path Not knowing of the wrath Someday it would haunt her dreams Then the tears would come in streams Washing over the jagged rocks As the door to her heart slowly locks Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Someday it would haunt her dreams Then the tears would come in streams Washing over the jagged rocks As the door to her heart slowly locks I know this feeling well. Beautiful poem. I can't believe I missed it the first go round. Thanks to Jeffrey for bringing it back up. |
