The pages of a book, the leaves of a life. Pictures of a love overcoming strife Moments in time, captured for posterity Reminders of a past filled with love and hilarity
Memories are all that the pages now hold Dreams of a life now lost and cold The warmth we felt from a beating heart The cruel reality of a soul torn apart
We walked long roads lined with beech and oak In warm woodland pools we would swim and soak As the sun set neath distant horizons And stars came to life so high in the heavens
I know that one day we will dance once more In our hearts we’ll feel the eternal score And all around will be smiles of glee All that I ask, will you wait for me?
When you first began life’s marathon, were you courageous from the start? When you stood there at the starting line, were you committed head and heart? Must you believe you’ll achieve your goals, from the moment you begin? Must you
Sound dances on the wind The scarlet life that runs through our body Bitter to the smell Sweet to the taste The lifeline that doesn’t make any of us humans much different A beauty that’s capable of sending chills down
I rouse from the lap of ocean.. rose up down now and than… flew on on the wings of clouds.. walk play and commit many fouls… Collide with mighty mountains.. feeling cavalier..without any pain… a sudden my tears rushing down
O how I desire, the deluge {a severe flood} to scrub Aside all the black-hearted, and the tender-hearted would be full with warmth, so they won’t harden, but they will fall for the word hasn’t marked them, they will forget
When pillows of comfort become your enemy, Understand sorrow is going to be, Life will always check you, Life will always test you, It may try to know how patient or impatient you are, But all life’s long way you

Darren another lovely read. This one is so tender lovely
to read on a Sunday morn
Thanks Johanna. Every now and then a happy, positive one sneaks out.

All I can say I will wait — for another as you have a wonderful fun mind truly
but seem to adapt to other avenues with ease too.
I have a very fertile imagination which I enjoy exploring to see where it will lead. Glad you’re along for the ride!
