Embers (When I wrote this, the tune from, Pink Floyds "Echos" what running thru my head> Thats where the measure came from atleast)
every thought an ember burns
fading as the world does turn
waves breaking on the sand
gaze upon a distant land
a light apon a distant shore
points to were i was before
a face is burned apon my mind
far ahead and far behind
voice a whisper in the wind as blows
thats the way the story goes
reality as never was and should
reach out and grab, if we could
rain on the window pain, tears of God, tears in vain
lips pressed against the glass, the time fails to pass
silken pettles falling from a rose, and leaves that turn
slip thru fingers, and like the glowing embers burn
flicker candles tourtches, on wall of stone
amber light, that does pierce the night
pleasent dream, nightmere becomes
upon waking, open eyes from
yearn like partched deasert soul
to sleep again til growing old
dwelling in the lands between, a truths that is seldom seen
a truth i cherish, pray was mine, withheld by Gods and swine
read the story written in flesh and blood, faded from the flood
and stained upon the face, by day or night moons embrace
And what matters never understands, undiscovered distant sands
never once footprints lands, floating beyond grasp of hands
shatter as the day ends, return to hell the evening sends
breathing in the poison air, gaze into nevers stare
till ascending like a cherubs grace, light of love apon its face
lost in eteranal embrace, hang before withered face
eyes that lost light and sight, but see clear within the night
around my hand two worlds turn, as the embers still they burn
below in valleys rivers flow, upon the peaks feathers snow
,
eternities pale face a kiss, in distance forests mist
trees whisper secrets to the breeze, and within my ears freeze
each leaf tells a tail of sorrow, caried with wing of sparrow
if your hear them you will know, and never be alone
for i am there, whisper crying you home, the way is shown
