Along shores of windswept time Far away from my conscious mind Lies a place of virgin grace Where water sparkles a vintage wine There I am to cleanse my soul Torn apart by this growing hole Its light devoured by night Heeding not the thing it stole Time is short and fading fast Descending from now unto the past And in this place of virgin grace I wish that time could last Unto this place I speed along Seeing all, and what went wrong Taking bits of me from reality Until I am totally gone |

'tis not a sad song, that one would sing but the truth, that one would bring to this heart, this sore heart o' mine peaceful comfort in thy words I find... thank you! |

Good one, you even used some assonance in your rhyme scheme. The order of events flowed well, too. Very comtemplative. |

I always consider it a challenge to go for perfect rhyme, makes it a bit more difficult but what a feeling when you finally get there....which I haven't in all of mine! enjoyed. Kathleen Blake |
