I stand with you upon the shore of dreams that echo, but are no more. A yesterday where dreams once flowed, The ebbing waves that finally slowed, For dawn of dreams unrealized, We watched together weary eyed. Our arms once open to the tide, Now hang limply at our side; mirrored on smooth waveless sea, Unless perchance you wave with me, Bidding adieu the rushing Streams, That lead to oceans of our Dreams. Now hand in hand, upon dried sand, hearts flow to yesterday. Echos in a concha shell, we turn and fly away.

Thank you for your visit Fave, it is a little sad, I was feeling somewhat blue as I wrote it. My husband and I are growing old, and though all our dreams didn't come true, we do have peace in the future. Sometimes, it is good to realize some of those amazing youthful dreams were just that, dreams. We've had a blessed life despite anything else :) Thank you so much for your visit and comment <3 ~BJ
