On Wings of Love

Once my romantic dreams
Lived in a castle in the air,
And I'd fly there
On wings of love.

Youth passed with time,
My castle crumbled, but it seems
I've kept a dream
That clings to love.

The distant mem'ries that remain,
Though pale and gaunt,
Still taunt and haunt
My dreams of love.

I've crashed and burned, 
My love's been spurned,
But hope survives that romance thrives,
And time will prove

That once again
Out of the ashes I can rise
And soar the skies
On wings of love.

Hello Jim, what a heart-song for anyone who's ever loved deeply and dared to dream again. It’s not just romantic, it’s resilient. Blessings, Jim, Daniel

That's lovely, Jim. A lot of us have had castles that crumbled. Sometimes life's a real bummer. Hang on.
