A poem

The trip came late

Was slow to start

Both meek of will

And weak of heart

With broken bones

And tattered spirit

The wheels met pavement

The road did hear it

Despite love long since shattered

And promises so broken

Lies told to ourselves

And dreams never once spoken

Just beyond the bend

A soul full of wonder

No more pining for high tides

To come and pull me under
