Ever hopeful
Ever hopeful, filled with dreams,
bright new, brand new schemes.
Pastel shades of Wedgewood skies,
first light of loving in your eyes,
soon to dim and then you flee,
leaving me, alone
with me,
The things I fear, the things you said
burning rivers in my head,
bereft of all we shared,
my soul so old, so young , so bare,
afraid of you,
of me,
of life
of when…..
Until the bright new dreams begin again…
The landscape never quite the same,
eventually a different game,
aware at last of what I know,
and think, and am, and feel
a gift of love at long last
real.
