Distant Memory

Can it be
That two paths cross
In memory
My soul is lost
Lost in the breeze
Of apathy
Numb by the frost
My mind in need
Of one who calls
Yes, calls to me
But from where?

Two paths I see
Etched in stone
A pattern sown
Through rustling leaves
My goals, my needs
Filled in all
I can't recall
That misty glade
Seems memories fade
My mind astray
To you I call

Revealed at last
My eye; it sees
Beneath the leaves
A secret masked
My darkest fear
Relived in a flash
Is gone and passed
My life for years
Is seared just now
A broken mind
Sets sail, but how?

A million tears
Sprung from Rome
I journey to a distant home
Relive the years
Recapture mine own
How can it be
In memory
All that's gone
Is here with me
A secret sown
Inside the soul
Embarking into lands unknown
