Wind ran by to kiss your cheek
round your neck our gilded hopes hung
The hand of God flowed soft within
from when he was happy and young
_________
Forget the nights of wanton desire
give to me not love nor tears
Evenings filled with endless dreams
bring me safe from all life's fears
________
Your beauty is so great to bear
my chest hardly held its ache
For beauty more than bitter tears
will make the soft heart break
________
Bells of the town clock tower
took too much from you and me
Yet off to the rock and river
they gave of life for eternity
_________
How often did we pass each other
o'er the long years as others do
Ne'er once daring to ride the fire
to heavens door we never knew

This is my first attempt at something a bit abstract. So please bear with me as I learn.
In our great attempt at manifest destiny we have left so many families broken apart, estranged, lost to the winds of time. Even now we let our cities die as we build ever outward to the horizons. We are in such a hurry to make our mark on this world
