On the Edge of a Dream

Sunlight on the sea
A beautiful reflection
Here I stand alone 
Thinking about yesterday
And remembering her love

There's beauty here upon this earth when you wonder what it's worth. A glimmer of a sunlit sea reminds us what will be, will be. A rhyme can't fill the empty hole where love filled up your entire soul. But peace and love come from above. And hope will fit just like a glove. Chin up dear Jack! Get back on track and do your best for what you lack. Peace dear poet.
