    Bound

    I was held captive by the image in the skies
    You were sitting on the clouds slowly floating by
    How I wish you would invite me to join you on that ride
    We would absorb the view and glide along the mountainside

    Yearningly, I kept imagining my eyes could sway you
    To come back for me, to change the direction of the wind
    But the clouds reshaped and you disappeared without a clue
    And the blue sky suddenly began to grow dark and dim

    For one single moment I had dreamed it was possible
    That a man and a woman from different worlds became one
    changing the winds of prejudice was plausible
    forget I was his daughter, the man with the gun

    This musical musing on love's failed hopes had me caught up and carried along, Alexandra. Weathers bear away our dreams.

    Oh, but where would they make their nest?
    find hopes and dreams to rest
    their heads upon a host of clouds,
    till trepidation struck them down!

    So well written!

      A dream worthy of King, written with passion and craft, AG. An inspiring write, which sent Dwayne in a hurry off to the drafting board!

          This starts with a very ethereal feel AtL - wistful and full of expectancy. It finishes as wistful, but in a very different tone. Great transition and very moving write!
