Where Have Dreams Gone ?

To Saint Elisabeth Ann Seton ( 1774 - 1821 ) ,

In memory of a visit in Emmitsburg , MD ( U.S.A )

" The Lord is my sheperd ,

I shall not be in want ,

He makes me lie down

In green pastures ... "

Psalm 23

How does it feel

To be lonely in the land of Mary ,

Lost by someone

Who won't come back anymore ?

Don't tell me it's not worth

A Doctor ...

Thus are her colours

On her umbrella ,

Wild silk flowers

From the Holy Garden ,

Engraved memories

Of sweet meditations

On the fallen silent

Smile of her child ,

Flags all around you ,

Her fifteen stars-years upon ,

All that have gone ... *

But it's She , an Angel ,

Who suddenly woke you ,

Poor little bird singin' so blithely ,

If not for her ,

What would the rest be for ,

If not with you , my dear ,

Where should her nest be ?

You'd rather tell it to her

Maybe quite more simply ,

Like to all those sailors

Who never went to sea ,

A shining Star upon them ,

Where all their dreams have gone ...

* Mother Seton lost her daughter Anna on March 12 , 1812 .

" A Time For Miracles " ( 1980 ) , U.S Tv film directed by Michael O'Herlihy , with Kate Mulgrew , John Forsythe , Lorne Greene , Jean-Pierre Aumont .
