I close my eyes and see
our bridges burning,
dragged from your arms
taken to a land I have never known
to be among my kinfolk.

Another life has been
thrust upon me
Would that I could warm
my spirits in the flames
I left behind.

Shrivelled in my loneliness
I seek the sea, praying in my
wild imaginings, for a
a ferryman to row me over.

The water covers my eyes
as it does our bridges.
and there you are
arms wide open
waiting to take me
to a place of our own.

Maggie, this sounds like a dream...
at least, it walked like a dream...

Good to see your name again...
