Reflections

The reflection of her heart shines near the waters edge, tranquil and deep
She cries for what might have been, as she lets her heart softly sleep
Her soul wants one chance at the dream, but her mind knows best
So all these foolish notions she lays quietly to rest

Maybe if they'd have met in a different time, in a different place
She could allow the chance to be touched by an Angel's grace
In her heart, she knows she should just let all of this go
Secretly her soul cries out though, but in her mind she knows

It's time to just move on, and plant her feet back on solid ground
Forget this fantasy love her heart has witnessed and found
She's ruled many times in these matters with her heart
This time though she has to find a way to let her head win, and make a soft depart

When the years have passed, and the winds have shifted once more
She'll no longer have broken dreams, they'll be restored
So she can now fly on, no longer does this Angel need her to protect
There's no more left to do here, nothing left to expect

Then she looks at the water, and dries the last traces of her tears
Knowing that this pain will be over, and they both can move on with the rest of their years
She turns around to walk back the way that she came earlier that day
All the while knowing that even though her head chooses to leave, her heart will always stay







"you can't stop
the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

(sigh) Such wonderful reflections fill the mirrors of your heart, sweet friend, yes, may her heart be healed with love and then may her joy forever be reflected every time she stares into the lake with her loves face embroidered beside hers! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh Amy I hear and reflect upon your every word.  
Tis lovely with a tinge of regret and the strength to carry on.

some things never leave us...
somethings we take with us...while leaving traces behind.
Beautiful cadence kissed write Amy-girl
a lovely retrospective piece.

how about how good it feels to finally forgive you
