Whenever, my soul like a shrunken dream <br />Wonders and waits with wasted breath <br />Destiny beckons on but the road is long <br />And at the end lies only, only death <br /> <br />Now and then a diamond in the dust <br />Sparkles with quiet passion <br />Blossoms colour my dreams <br />Life is far from all it seems <br /> <br />Paltry rhymes, simple songs, hasty verses <br />Coming from God knows where <br />And going on to rocky streams and a pebbled shore <br />Surely living meant far, far more. <br /> <br />Far away, waves crash in the misty cold <br />A flagging swimmer, a hallucinating teenager <br />A tired woman wait for their lives to unfold. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whenever-my-soul-like-a-shrunken-dream/
