Pond of Remembrance

Pond of Remembrance
-------------------

Upon the pond of remembrance,
I see you,
I see you nearing,
I see you veering,
Why won't you come to me?
Why won't you let me touch you heathen face?
Why are you so near?
Yet so far away?
Is this but a cruel game that you and I must play?

I see the rippled circles,
Of your dissapearing face,
You have eluded me again my sweet,
But I am not yet prepared to concede to you defeat,
For tommorrow's another day,
Another day for us to play,
This twisted game that I hold so dear,
This twisted game that I dare not end,
For I fear,
That you will never re-appear,
Upon the pond of remembrance,

Reason for writing:

    This one came to while I was relaxing on a forty-foot sailboat.
