"Laura"

By David Rountree

Looking out through the mists
Through darkness clouded shrouds
Beyond the realm of dreams and wishes
Beyond the mark of time
I saw your eyes.

Compelling as the first two stars of night
I was drawn from across the void of my soul
All my life I have been at war
All my life I have fought my way through
Until I met you.

Like a blanket of warmth you comforted me
Bringing peace to a soul damned
Opening my chilled heart
You gave me the sweetest gift
I have ever known
Peace.

Peace from the raging storm that my spirit rides
Peace from a war fought long ago
Peace from loves lost memories
Peace from a tell tale heart
I will always love you
Laura
