Distant Shore


Our love knew no whens or whys,
no words it needed say.
Deep inside each other’s eyes
we held the world at bay.

When we were together,
we savored every day.
We knew there’s no forever.
Time doesn’t work that way.

When the snows receded
and flowers flecked the field,
the call to roam I heeded.
I could not help but yield.

I often turn and look
back through the mists of time,
and ask why I forsook
our love which was so fine.

But it seems the answer
is clouded by my tears,
and you a tiny dancer 
blurred by the passing years.

As surely as the stream
must find the distant shore,
I find you in my dream.
We love like then once more.
