Sleeping Stranger (poem)
Who is this stranger sleeping in her heart
Where was the sun which swept her off her feet
That gallant dream which made each breath so sweet
So sad when things are left to fall apart
-
She searches through her mirror for a cause
But tears of brighter years forsake her view
Behold fair flower bore the winter’s dew
So sad when souls let go of all once was
-
Yet somewhere memories still dance and play
And arms unseen still come to hold her tight
She hears the songs which filled her with delight
She feels the warmth of that once brighter day
-
So sad what’s meant to last can’t carry on
The stranger woke to find that she had gone
