Living As We Are...

  *~Living As We Are~*

  O' Reigning skies, look over the withering trees
  Hear the misty river's cries
  Storms of pain, have laid their mark
  This horizon now fading, under the twilight
  
  Hearts filled with desire, once leapt in joy
  The spring birds, they sang soul melodies
  Now a desert green, left to rot and alone
  An unfulfilled wish, nothing more
  
  The fish float blind, motionless
  Bones of long ago, fizzle to dust
  The journeyman wanders searching
  Eyes hollow, feet in oceans of ash

  They watch from beyond, far from reach
  All our silent cries, every passing moment
  Left are we, alas to search in each other
  Living as we are, watching days fade
  
  I must pass, for the river soon would sink
  The wanderer lingers, now taking my place
  The dying sun calls to me, one last solace
  My still heart now stirs....one last beat
