Mirage

I close my eyes and hope to see,
what's lost for all eternity
a glimpse, a wisp, just to know,
why so soon you had to go?

I've always sought your beauty, bathed deep within your grace
my eyes once more in lasting peace, to rest upon thy face
but years have given to my mind what photographs deny
forever looking to the new, you've stilled my wandering eye
in my pure conscientious state, my mind creates a dream
of places found, of echoes lost and things not quite they seem
to never find the perfect place, that perfect peace of mind
just once to go, where no one knows, a love still yet to find
To lay with you in naked hues ....... a place of pure delight
A lovely dream, a lost mirage ..... gone with morning light

So I close my eyes ...... once more to dream
lost to time and tide it seems
a glimpse, a wisp, I'll never know
why so soon you had to go?
