I walk along the long beach
I see my love walk next to me
my parents there before she
my heart i hear move between

I walk on to see what comes
the kids i will have
just a little way on
the way i feel when i am alone

I see the sky blue as sea
I sea the sea blue as me
my job it comes and goes
as i walk on the rocks

I see the way the time will go
I see i still have far to go
I see you all as i pass
all through the pretty glass

I see my future my past
As i walk in the dunes tall grass
And i leave footsteps in the sand
All destroyed by times pass

Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

this is beautiful Walter... full of imagery and emotion, very nice!!JM

"...we were born before the wind...also younger than the sun...
and my heart you have won...as we sailed into the mystic...
I just want to rock your gypsy soul-
just like in the days of old...
and together we will float-into the mystic...

You have a lot of feeling put into those words.  Very strong
combination of "thought" and "memory".... the two ravens that
perched on Odin's shoulders were called Hugin and Munin (Thought
and Memory)....  (it just popped in my head, don't ask me where that
came from)--but the last stanza was especially fantastic.  Keep up
the good work.
