A Distant Shore

Did you ever find what you were looking for?
Were your prayers answered at last?
Did you get there and then saw there’s more?

Do you remember every promise you swore?
Or dId they fade away into the past?
Have they become ghosts you can’t ignore?

Do you reminisce about those days of yore?
Compared to today it’s quite the contrast,
Do you still wonder and then go explore?

Do you ever think about the words I said before?
The conversations we had and what I asked,
Because sometimes it gets me to the core.

Perhaps it’s the nostalgia that’s makes us sore,
When time slips by and it goes by fast,
When the message has reached a distant shore.

I once watched my tears bleed on to the floor,
My heart and spirit was blue and downcast,
From there I swore to myself, no more,
Wondering if you found what you were looking for.
