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!
