April was a lovely girl, her warmth was in her eyes <br />And she and I would walk within the calm of clear blue skies <br />Too short our time together, and what time consisted of <br />I knew her well, the shadows fell <br />See, April was my love... <br /> <br />A young man then, I knew the things a young man knows <br />But somehow lost it all with age, I guess that's how it goes <br />But April understood, and in time revealed to me <br />Reflection, my direction <br />And what April was to be... <br /> <br />She became to me the way to love's soothing caress <br />The answers to all questions, life and love, were met with yes <br />All that April showed to me, my heart still now believes <br />To take her place, her smiling face <br />April love, my heart still grieves... <br /> <br />Our time together had the look, forever on it's face <br />The hands of time stood still for us, in arm, and sweet embrace <br />It wasn't meant to be for us, nor I to have the sound <br />But she was singing, bells were ringing <br />As she felt the darkened ground... <br /> <br />Too soon my April left me, to some higher plane I'm sure <br />To wait for me to come someday, and reminisce with her <br />To tell me why each tear was lost, each April that I cried <br />As love turned to loss, inside the cross <br />When my April died... <br /> <br />Winter's breath blows hard upon her memory now <br />But I remember April, springtime love and lifetime vow <br />Sometimes I can feel her touch, and feel the gentle breeze <br />The days and nights, the wrongs the rights <br />There are many thoughts of these... <br /> <br />Many years ago now, April's love had held my heart <br />Too many days, and nights spent now without, but not apart <br />And I would trade my todays, for yesterday to be... <br />With April once again, and back to when <br />April was my love, you see.......<br /><br />dino evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadows-fell/
