She appeared suddenly from a lonely river
somewhere out of a faceless stream
She was travelled sage and street wisdom
her eyes lacking mercy's gleam
Over cobblestones of time she sought peace
taking roads to places where direction hides
and where silky satin gowns once full
flowed in reflections of a happy time

She was borrowed time passing
the elusive song of sadness
hidden in a gentle rain
the reason why the blues happen
in the heartaches of yesterday

She landed softly on my cushioned eyesight
a lost angel searching for my kind regards
She stood tall beside my garden wall
with a soul that reached far beyond her heart
Through the strains of yesteryear she bent my mind
And in her laugh of question she surfed insight waves
while she exposed her thoughts of a space afar
since her visions had turned to mad decay.

She spoke of tender love and children fair
of bedtime stories and Dr Seuss
when she heard her young son's laugh and daughter's sigh
and shared passion with her man and taught the golden rule
She'd been wandering since a fire in 83
looking for answers to the rising of a blue moon
where her dreams were consumed in a cruel storm
and when her heart closed all it's rooms.

She was borrowed time passing
the elusive song of sadness
hidden in a gentle rain
the reason why the blues happen
in the heartaches of yesterday

She left me in a state of worried wonder
an empty place where questions still remain
and I can't help but wish her a tender closing
everytime I hear her voice in a gentle rain.
Somewhere upon a mountain of forgiveness
there's a truth I can't seem to uncover
from the comfort of my easy chair
knowing her heart was lost to crushing pain
I think humbled thoughts much more aware

She was borrowed time passing
the elusive song of sadness
hidden in a gentle rain
the reason why the blues happen
in the heartaches of yesterday

Waz up groovy guy???

So good to read your rhymes today poet pal o mine. No ones sings the blues in cadence hues like you do Eric.

the reason why the blues happen
in the heartaches of yesterday

what a poetically perfect turn of phrase that is.

Hope life is treating you well up there in wonderland.

Her hardest hue to hold."
"So dawn goes down to day ...
Nothing gold can stay."
