…somewhere

An empty churchyard filled with memories
and the twists of fate find us oceans apart
broken dreams fill passing nights
loneliness does not require solitude
just a pause for the sighs of unquiet hearts
relentless echoes of laughter and sorrow
the age-old kisses of the sea on stones
each ripple sweeps me back in time
gives back the colour to yesterdays’ rose
the wind song is whispering secrets
that I’ll somehow always know
but none speaks here but your love
I stop to feel the breeze on my face
sunshine streams through a twilight rain
there is a sudden shock of sapphire sky
and the sun is always rising somewhere
