Listen to poem:

Faraway-Hope

When all the poems have been written
and every dream has been wished
When the fragile dawn of love rises and finds us worthy,
to be lovers,
will we see these dreams and wishes,
washed away by time?
Will we find our hearts torn and alone,
in the cold dark of despair...weeping,
seeking refuge,
or will we fulfill love's promise,
to count each star as a heartbeat,
as we look into the night sky and wonder?
Will we walk the road of tomorrow,
looking back on fading footprints already traveled?
Will this be a perfect love,
where passion's fire burns away,
walls and ramparts of our hearts,
leaving us vulnerable
When time slows and our eyes merge,
in a moment of truth,
will they close slowly before lips meet,
or turn and walk away in silence,
where we'll hear echoing sounds from lovers,
far faraway, 
becoming another sad poem on the theme

Frederic, your voice lends itself really well to the narration of this type of poetry. I too chose this word (not posted yet) but on a totally different theme!
