Thoughts Did Disappear

Thoughts Did Disappear A memory came back that was daunting And at same time it had been haunting Me wondering how it would occur again So where should I start or ever begin? Had seen an island where a farm was on In lovely place where we once had gone Realizing it was you that I had met there Were the times when much for you did care. When you left I was all by myself alone While mighty wind would blow and moan Small desert island was struck by a storm Then air there became cool that was warm. Boat's sails billowed carrying me out at sea Was not the place where I wanted to be And on top of my cabin a tree did land Not expected by me or ever planned. Left the lonely island never to return Memories of it I occasionally do yearn Became old and twilight started to near Thoughts of island home did disappear.
