Your name and mine, etched into trees
So many memories, swept with the breeze
We promised forever, but it just wouldn’t be
She came between us, and took you from me
No longer together, we grew distant, apart
Even though we remain, carved, in each other’s heart

The days grow short, nights are shorter
I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter
Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb
It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum
I need some space, to call my own
A quiet spot, where I’m unknown
No one to call my name, out loud
Far away, from the roaring crowd
Yet, I do not know, of such a place
To live my life, at my own pace
One day I hope to find that peace
When overwhelming moments cease

Clouds that swirl in azure skies
Waters flowing before my eyes
Catch me in hypnotic spells
Watching, as my dreams are quelled
Under sky, and over sea,
Is this where life has taken me?
Letting go, my thoughts do wander
Scattering about, it makes me ponder
What does all this really mean?
To be stuck here, in between

Through ruins, I try to make my escape
Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake
Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme
Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time
Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking
Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing
Trying to run, from what I fear most
I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

Sitting on the moon above
Looking down upon the land
I have to wonder what it is
That people find so grand
There are wars without intention
And rebels, without a cause
I wish they would just stop it all
Take a deep breath, and pause
Find the hope in one another
It seems long ago, forgotten
Throw away that hatred
Into the trash, the rotten
Join together, hand in hand
In peace and joy, there of
So when I look down from my perch
All I can see, is love
