Beside the peaceful waters, <br />we watch the fireflies dance <br />late into the darkness <br />as we warm to love’s advance. <br /> <br />Beside the peaceful waters, <br />she steals my heart away <br />only to be gone from my side <br />at the breaking of a new day. <br /> <br />Beside the peaceful waters, <br />my dreams lie shattered in despair. <br />She has gone to another’s arms <br />and no longer, mine will share. <br /> <br />3 July 2010<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beside-the-peaceful-waters/
