Unreel
Oh far far distant shore recalled
where once our words of love were scrawled
opon the sands of Xanadu
when we were young and hope was new
Oh far far distant dreams of times
of sylvan forests in my mind
reclining on the parapets
of castles made of sillouettes
shadows of what might have been
behind the shades of if and when
lit by candles in the gloom
the two of us,a spell,a swoon
Amagic wish to take us there
sussurations in the air
a gasp,a spinning faint and then
alterations on the wind
the skein of life,the reel of time
flashing back along the line
until I feel you take my hand
to write I love you ,in the sand.
