 in the vagueness of a dream. We held each other tightly under the moonlights beam. The stars were there for wishing... but who needed their magical grace? All the magic I could possess I had found in your embrace. Lights from distant ships... brisk wind blowing from the sea... everything seemed to perfect... so content... while you were holding me. I turned to look back where we had walked and my eyes began to scan the footprints that you and I had carelessly left in the sand. I suddenly realized your prints were gone... only mine remained. The dream was destroyed... my arms were empty... filled now with loneliness and pain. The waves had moved upon the shore and washed you away from me. Now, I stand here... wretched and forlorn... arms and heart, cold and lonely. I whispered "I miss you"... and listened... but there was no reply. I stood desolate on the beach and heard only the moon sigh. You have walked, sometimes heavily, through the crisscrossed paths of my heart. And many still bear your precious steps filled equally with pleasure and strife. I'll always have traces of your footprints no matter where you might be... For you have walked through my life... into my dreams... and carved pictures in my memory.©  ©Property of the author. Do not copy, edit, reproduce, etc. without written permission.
