When Rivers Sing Poem by Barry Middleton

I wonder if you think of me
for like a ghost I hear your voice
a song that will not let me be
still whispers like a fatal choice

I cannot touch you from afar
for time conceals your destiny
but I can see you in a star
when night reveals its mystery

the clock moves on and rivers flow
and I am worn and weak with age
but still a dreamer claims to know
what lies upon the final page

for then I go where dreamers go
and there again I take your hand
as rivers sing with stars aglow
and memory makes its final stand
