Memories of a life are blurred 
Dreams entrusted, now only dreams 
Thoughts turn into shallow words 
Endless seas now shallow streams 
 
Share with me your life content, 
so I may know that sacred place 
where those whose futile life is spent 
not stumbling through an empty space 
 
I once knew a place where golden light shone 
where two in love could make a stand 
against the world we stood like stone 
unfazed, unbeaten, an imagined land 
 
then time unseen, 
like a stalking beast 
hid in shadows 
silent, 
still 
dimmed the golden light of love 
pictures scattered 
of a life to fill
