Far and Away, She Rose.

I find inspiration in the strangest places so often.

 

Down the lane and far away, she rose.

Something out of a dream.

A dream of mine.

Far and away she rose.

Long moments we stood, eye to eye, waiting.

For the other to move.

For the other to fade.

Back whence we came.

Into the land of dreams.

My heart leapt in my breast.

Had my wish come true?

Had she come now?

Long had I waited for this moment.

Stretching to seconds, frozen in time.

Far and away she rose.

She said nothing.

Nor did I

We stared at each other.

There.

Far and away.

She fades in my vision.

Walks no further forward.

I wait in endless anticipation.

For she rises not, far and away.

One day that may change.

A moment I may turn the corner.

She may yet be down the long road.

Just there.

Far and away.

I really love this one. to see someone (or something) we want or need and to have it just out of reach. A very poignant piece.

This is so beautiful - full of longing and hope . waiting and waiting for a dream to come true, so near and yet so far.

The format and construction is so fine; the flow smooth and honey-like

Just read this again, it's truly beautiful.. very beautiful.

Thank you, thank you for sharing.
