A River of Gold

We once, in another lifetime, walked over the 
River Seine.
Do you recall that, sweetheart, when all in life 
was to gain?

Boats with colorful lights, wished our futures
be joyous and bright.
In that lifetime, not really long ago, in dreams, 
you held me tight!

Is life but a dream, or a reflection of that which 
I dearly cherish and hold?
Tell me true, dear, why was the Seine that star
studded night, a River of gold?

Very beautiful! "Is life but a dream, or a reflection of that which I dearly cherish and hold?" I think it is all the above, and the title is Love.

Funny how sometimes we arrive at a place that seems familiar to us and you wonder did you dream it or if we were there in a past life. Tom
