Once more - once only - I wish I could be <br />soft as a zephyr in the morning light, <br />warm, remembering, what you'll never see, <br />what I gave and you lost without a fight. <br /> <br />Sunrise splendor of a new-dawning love! <br />The lush, lustful moments born in a day. <br />Those moments of magic here and above <br />blossomed in a most magnificent way. <br /> <br />The longing prevails, try hard as I might; <br />and the past lives though I wish it would die. <br />Tangled in tears in the ashes of night, <br />I caress my soul in the hands of cry. <br /> <br />You'll never know; I'll never understand <br />why I love you beyond sense and reason. <br />There is one set of footprints in the sand - <br />mine - a trail of tears to mark the season. <br /> <br />How sweet the myth of love everlasting! <br />The rain laments in liquid chains of blue. <br />The words confess, forever forecasting, <br />that I am helplessly in love with you.<br /><br />Linda Marie Van Tassell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunrise-at-the-beach/
