Beyond the arch of the Forlorn Garden

A girl searches for the unattainable in this poem.

Beyond the arch of the Forlorn Garden,

I catch a fleeting glance at eternity.

Stark white against the darkness you stood,

As beautiful and lost as a dove among crows.

 

I catch a fleeting glance at eternity,

As you disappear within the crowd.

As beautiful and lost as a dove among crows.

I cry for the above and you.

 

As you disappear within the crowd,

I race after you in a frenzy.

I cry for the above and you,

But time waits for no one.

 

I race after you in a frenzy,

Like predator against prey.

But time waits for no one,

So I fall behind and get lost in the crowd.

 

Like predator against prey,

Stark white against the darkness you stood,

So I fall behind and get lost in the crowd,

Beyond the arch of the Forlorn Garden.
