It was something I saw,
don't remember what.
Something shamefully
trivial, my heart
was set after.
And though I tried, and
tried for an eternity, that
something, of all others,
I couldn't have.
So when eternity ended,
I took a deep breath,
bowed out, heaved
ahead my quiet life.
Rebuilt what had been
washed away, a world away
from where the dead lay
Till a happy life came
to live next doors
and I knew it was,
that hearth that dance,
my lost dream.
