I walk in the dreams of my youth Fame, beauty, money and life yet i cry in my dreams The pain bites deep in me I awake again alone but for the whispering this is what you have earned and as i listen i remember A summer long ago when i left her by the shore a love so purely easily scorned by the river after the storm I am left just another lonely heart in the windows of my past causing pain i can not place eat me up inside an angels face The sweat is dry upon my brow the faint smell of her dream spirit now plays upon the morning breeze even now speaking of the loved i once disallowed As i walk through my bejewelled palace Beset with Ivory Gold and Rain I look again into the future And i see my past holding on to the pain. Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis |

of all the treasures you have, you've lost the most precious. Sadly beautiful read my friend. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

"Beset with Ivory Gold and Rain" This IS stunning verse. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
