the whispy breeze
a whispy breeze ran thru my mind,
as if an angel passed by.
a perfumed trail it left behind,
and i didnt stop to ask why.
i followed the scent shed left behind,
that would lead me who knos where.
i knew in my heart id follow forever,
the scent that she did wear.
was it a shade that led me on?
or an echo from my mind?
the wisp flew ever on,
and i ran close behind .
i wondered did i know this woman,
or did she know me.
was she from my future,
or was this a memory .
she led me thru a meadow
id never seen before
and the rich scent of its flowers
was like the scent she wore
she led me to a tombstone
beside a country church
and when i read the incised stone
my heart stopped with a lurch
the verse was simple short an sad
twas for a love she'd never known
that started slow and then turned bad
and ended under coldhard stone
i read the warning on the stone
and tought of the love id just lost
without a thought i ran back home
id win her back whatever the cost
