You were never mine

So I knew there would come this time.

A time to say good-bye

I knew someday it would come

So that’s why there are no tears to cry

What I feared would be an untold lie.

No sad farewells

Our Fountain isn’t found in the bottom of a well

Peace and happiness I pray will always inside you dwell

I do more than wish. . . . .

I tell you all of this. . . . .

Sealed with a secret kiss.

Yes, you I will miss

You were never mine

So I knew there would come this time.

No time to reminisce

Only I can recommence

Dust the paintings from off the wall

Each one has its own story – that’s all

Bring the horses in - that jumped the fence

For those who aren’t riding – this doesn’t make much sense.

I leave you with a quarter

You give in return  - sixpence

But you’ll know what I mean

Your senses so keen.

My moment has passed

What in this world lasts?

I feel the gail off the southwestern gulf keys

Unfurl the sail from the mast

Only the beholder knows what it sees

And what I see  - I must leave be.

Wind blown coastal seas

Gone with time

You were never mine.
