Turn Around

Daybreak in a foreign land

Sights so bright

Drenched in history

The sun sparkling through the morning mist

 Vision blurred by squinted eyes

A silhouette draping a wooden bench

The baby sparrow hungrily cries

Walk right past she looks at me

Was she the one from my dream

I stare right back to let her know

Our two eyes lock, there is a gleam

Oh vision bright and beautiful

Come take my hand and walk with me

A journey we both do need

Turn around and comfort me

Would that I were she, Tim. A man who gives so much support and comfort to others would surely capture my heart! If this is for the "love in an ancient place" contest, you have a winner for sure! Love, Carolyn

this is very atmospheric, Tim, how you place it in a historical other land. I really like it.
