The Aisle

The Aisle 

A cathedral of trees; 
An aisle of sand,
Barefoot I carry you, 
Through our Golden land

Your head on my shoulder,
Your hand on my arm 
My heart is steady; 
Your breath is calm 

Altar made of green 
Walking slowly, watching you,
The most beautiful woman
I have ever seen 

You hold my hand;
Even though you know,
The question I will ask,
Your answer will be no. 

I gently place you down;
Wanting you to wear my crown,
A king you'd make me,
I was lost now found 

Your answer lost to the winds,
My heart lost to time;
I'm left alone, 
Wishing you were mine.
