THE PASSING YEAR

I sit with her; She passes softly by I remember moments: some live as others die I bid farewell: She leaves and will not answer why I loved her: Still she passes softly by. I think of her: the times she held me high I wept with her, for there are times she made me cry I ask her if the past was just a lie She smiles at me and passes softly by. I wave to her: She still does mystify I hold on to her. Illusive, she is shy I can't keep her here, though I cannot help but try With each passing year, I too, pass softly by.

GREGORY AMOUR
DANCING WITH HER SHADOW

She was dancing with her shadow... Dancing with her pain Dancing with the music Feeling every strain She was dancing with her shadow As it moved across the wall Making love to the sweet music As her shadow embraced it all She wished she were dancing with the others Who stood and watched her dance But all she moved with was her shadow As it watched her watch it prance She reached out to touch her shadow But it pulled away too fast And her chase game with her shadow Was like her lovers of the past Her shadow kept on dancing As she followed every move But it never would embrace her Nor from her site would it remove She's always dancing with her shadow Always dancing by its side But when the music finally stops Her shadow runs away to hide Her shadow still eludes her Like the lovers who will not be All turn into the shadows On the wall she cannot see
