Illusions


We walked hand in hand
On long, lonely stretches of sand.
A gentle breeze and the setting sun so calm
All to tell me that I'm in love.

We talked of things unimportant
Of Love and Life and Family and Friends.
While the waves caressed the rocks gently,
And the sky a hue of orange so lovely.

I watched her laugh and play and run
She gazed silently her eyes shone with love.
She laughed again - a clear ringing sound
like a thousand sparkling mountain streams
        -and I fell in love all over again.

'Am I dreaming?' I ask myself...
It must be true for she's not around.
The sun has set and the wind is chilly
The waves are buffeting the rocks angrily.

I cry for her in pain, she wouldn't listen
All the bonds of love have long been broken.
Wearily I walk back to my empty void...
...her laugh still ringing in my ears.



P.S. I shot these snaps on my drive from Columbus,OH to Yellowstone National Park...my longest ever. And I can't help but telling you the incident associated with the top photograph. Looking at the colorful sky, I pulled over my car on the shoulder to grab a unique snap when a kind couple passed us. By the time they realized that maybe we had a breakdown, they had gone quite ahead. Also knowing that it was a desolate place and nothing in view for miles, they crossed the devider between the freeways, turned back and came to us for any help, only to embarass us for our thoughtlessness(if you are reading this, thank you again!).
