My dearest friend I’m missing you
With all my heart when I am blue
We were great friends through all the years
Times were we laughed or cried real tears.
Some days were good and some were bad
We beat the odds though life was sad
I truly wish you were still here
For one last time to bend your ear !
MISS YOU.
When men were giants in the land
And custom held one kissed the hand
The dragon was the primal fear
And jousts were fought both far and near.
These were the times when men were brave
And sped their steeds to maidens save
The simple facts were brought to mind
And courage was not hard to find.
But now this is a newer age
And life has found a diff’rent stage
As truth is hid behind each door
The glory waned and is no more !
I sense the silence falling on my ear
What is this message that we cannot hear
Who reaches out because of these dark fears
I think the day of tribulation nears.
Awake, I know the morning will soon come
What is it we are all escaping from
There can be no true place of safety left
And that of which we dreamt leaves us bereft !
I feel the silence all around
There is no movement to be found
No beating heart, no breathing sound
The quiet permeates the ground
The air is still, unused, unbound
The loss intense, the wound profound !
A ray of sun breaks through the cloud
My heart cries out and sings aloud
One stolen thought now rears its head
All will be gone when I am dead.
A gentle thought tugs at my mind
Where is the peace we’re meant to find
Where is the joy life promises
With love for all the reward is ?
Who makes the rules and carries out
The consequence of fear or doubt
Who rends the earth or tears apart
A mountain top or broken heart ?
While all of this continues on
Is there a force to wish upon
Perhaps a dream we’ll never see
Or paradise that cannot be ?
The days go by they’re all the same
Though calendars do change their name
It’s like a dream one can’t forget
But seems it’s had no ending yet
This simple wish that knows no past
Too soon becomes its very last !
