"Shenandoah..."

Some moments bring a song to mind… I’ld just had one that did.  And damn, its name really fit as a title.

 

 

“Shenandoah…”

 

There are times

we need a river

to flow beside our thoughts

as we gaze into

our visions

of life and moments crossed…

 

And there are times

we touch that water

with hands so shaking …soft

and let it flow

o'er fingers' tips -

like kisses never lost.

 

And that river is always moving

and yet awaits me - there to pause

to hold my thoughts of an 'ever

and dreams of all that was...

 

…and it isn't all of tears

tisn't all about our fears

isn't even of the years…

 

it's just about love 

…and its costs.
