I hear echoing sounds of music from afar…
A plaintive ,soulful song sung by
some stranger, maybe a rising star?
Then it fades, ending on a sad sigh..
The song, a tentatively distant dream
I treasured so long ago.
Not mine so strange it seems,
I blundered blindly into forgotten sorrow..
I cannot be in this painful place,
so surreal, so tragic, no tomorrow…
I’m alone, my life just an endless,empty space
like a dry land where where nothing will grow.
In the time, memory of the yearning song
there was still hope for love now forever gone.
I loved the song I heard that afternoon… I came to a place in my life
where I knew the time for searching for the love of a soul mate was indeed over…
