In Heart’s Mind

 

In heart’s mind

On quiet shore

Alone I walk

No more once more

 

No song or poem

I play or write

Can capture fall

From soaring height

 

The more I learned

The less I could

Lay rest to hope

When told I should

 

Cherished so

Yet watched undone

The unheld gift

That perfect one

 

Dragged to reel

In shadowed dawn

I lost the light

I gained the gone

 

The empty air

Of soulful kiss

In vanished sun

The one I miss
