He's stood here
reflecting the distant years
that seem now to sing his woes
His direct courage
the dues paid
that here joins his heart
Across the wide barriers of space and time.
In the distance
the yearning of first love
bares upon a gentle tear
the harmony he found
where her arms
Loved
treated him so kindly and made
Him a God in her world.
Sad where tears only hold her
where thoughts are all the captive
of her image still bright and clear
Lonely the path
that journeys out unseen
where love still engulfs him
holds her to this day
His light
His dream.
