Away Away From You
"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853
I am riding a galloping horse,
On a far away lonely beach,
racing along the wet sands,
as sea reaches to accost my feet,
the blowing breeze jolts memories,
of a cradle song I have heard,
rocking slowly in the moonbeams,
as mum sings her lullabies,
every breath a lifetime,
every moment a memory,
all that is gained in life through love,
comes rushing back to me!
silent creeps the winter snow,
hustling in more past imagery,
the warmth of fire,
childhood desires,
amidst a loving family.
a sea gull calls like years before,
when the evening was for you and me,
meanwhile on my galloping horse,
there is no where else to flee,
broken, shattered, our love a remorse,
but your eyes still follow me!
