Distant Hearts

Beside the rivers of where to go Beneath the tree's of hope I gaze, I ponder still a while I dream, I think, I hope Adrift upon a lavender breeze Of Honey and hazel winds I am lost, alone, in company Whilst the delicate robin sings You're listening but that wandering smile Gives way your thoughts so far Whilst I am earth bound Waiting here You're with the Northern star Scented fields of poppies Their red be proud and bright And if I had but their pride you see I'd return to you tonight In the meadows, still I wait Beside lakes whilst water ran I say to you I'll come home soon But I'm more poet than a man Her ways are moveable She bends with ease Yet her eyes tell a different tale As I wasted years, my time away Alas, her heart set sail
