Echoes

I have known the calling of a dream
the haunting beat of its temptation
that rattles the mind and teases the soul
enough to wake a man from peacefull sleep

I have seen you on the tempest
dressed in lace, your face devine
your body shaped to a fine sculpture
your eyes the ocean of my needs

for all of those now come and gone
the highs and lows of forcing love
meaning well and falling short
left us here to contemplate alone

no gravity could hold me down
my will to face the wind survives
I walk straight into the sun
though, love has not arrived

today I plant my seeds for summer
my faith in life supreme
I have arrived here at this station
one path short of satisfied

the sky explodes into a dream
she appears again in lace
I wonder what it is I'm after
today she wears another face

If by chance you here me strumming
some melancholy song on strings
please be sure to remind me
how blessed I am despite my needs
