Silver starlight guides my path,
fate's hand steadies the falling glass.
Summer sun, warm on my skin,
marred by clouds, the chill creeps in.
Lost, alone, a dream like state,
Afraid to open the one last gate.
A shield of faith, stronger than most,
gone to the sea, my watery host.
Some things in life are meant to be,
while some just fade, regretfully.

I love it! The images hit you right from the opening line and can easily mean something totally different to every reader. For me it was a poem about someone who's life had taken a turn for the worse - everything was so perfect but then it just faded...regretfully. -
