Yesterlove

The dawn is touching many sleeping windows
With its fingers burning coldly in the mist
And the sea at man is restless
With its seary nerves awoken
And its dreams of ages long ago
Have been disturbed
And I’m standing in the shelter of the eastward searching sky
And I’m searching for a peace that I have lost
And the soul of me will screaming
With the gamuts and the goads
And it is hopeless
For I know that I am lost
For you are far away across the swirling plain that is before me
A year ago I said goodbye
And wondered at the dryness of my eyes
As you walked quickly, through the ripple, wrinkled sand
Out of my life, and I could never understand the reason why
You never turned to wave a last… goodbye
You can see the place where once we walked with heads together talking
And our feet, its shrinking footprints left a sign
That we were no summer lovers
And the walls were down between us
And we thought as one
And there were shining in our eyes
A thousand words that we would not have time to say
And all the thoughts that I had never thought before
And you once whispered
'This is one for everything that happens'
And the things we said were ancient and unknowing
And our hands were always touching
For it just was not enough… to only see you
And the Sun has thrown the world in spinning circles
Once again the dawn is bridging night and day
And I stare at the horizon
To its shimmers in the distance
Are the tears in my eyes
Or is the Sun too strongly shining?
All the clouds in silence sobbing in the sky of dawning beauty
And the dawn and new beginning
And suddenly I know that it is over
And the sorrow washes through me
Touching all my being with coldness
That I know is only passing
For the hurt begins to fade
And at that instant turning, I can see creation
And a single beam of sunlight
And I thank you for the lesson
That I’m learning, for you gave me my first love
And that is surely the most precious gift
I thank you from the bottom… of my broken heart
