Paved In Gold

Paved in gold,
paved in gold.

No more sitting alone in front of the fire
awaiting fruition of dreams, awaiting my hearts desire.
Those days were swept away in the chilly falls of yesterdays.
It was a cold and windy season
yet all I can remember are gold leaves swirling without reason.
As gold as the streets in Heaven.

There will be no more,
there will be no more.

No more asking me how I feel,
let's just think about something else.
The answer lies in keeping it real so I'll just keep it to myself.
So long ago I belonged to you.
Heart, soul, mind, body and spirit,
with a will that was stronger than myself.
My spirit danced joyfully within it.

There is grace in age.

Hi Catie, your wonderful verse speaks to me. I feel my own guilt and sadness weighing me down, and I have to learn to rise above, learn from my mistakes, and grow into the person I want to be. Wisdom does come with age...hope you are doing well. Hugs, Rhonda
