Shattered Dreams

17 April 2006


That night of her shattered dreams
that love lost, the world emptied
but why was this so

Sadness to her heart
words to think
What could it be
Had she done wrong
this love, her desire
that nectar of happiness to drink

Her beauty, of her soul
her heart, her warmth
She was love
but someone had taken
her shattered dreams

Stolen, wasn’t love meant to last forever
Maybe that was what she wanted to know

Sleep, sweet princess
sleep within your heart
rest your soul and know each day
each morning was but another start


“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me,
O God! how great is the sum of them!”
Psalms 139: 17 KJV


a poet who cares


This poem was created as a recording first, and the text written down from the recording.
It took around 2 minutes to compose the recorded works

This poem was composed in voice first, and put on the page, from the transcript of that recording.

And you are more that welcome to download and listen to this recording of my voice in its raw state, composing the above poem

shattered dreams mp3

In other words, until I opened my mouth to speak, in making this recording, the poem never did exist.
