Waiting To Die
I’ve
been aware for sometime though my offerings are many
they’ll be shared by the few
And all of the hours I spent bleeding visions from shadows
will be lost in this room.
The roar of my childhood sun fades like a flickering ember
I’m lost 'neath the sky
Waiting to die... Waiting to die...
Do
you remember the time that we walked through the meadows
and we sat in the sun
You kissed my face as the wind brought us singing of sparrows
and your hair came un-done
Who would have thought that those warm hands of time would make strangers
out of both of us now
Alone now we lie... Waiting to die...
I
was the one who thought wisdom the prize of our journey
but our travels are done.
And all that we have are the vapors of memories fading
life’s weavings un-spun
You were the one who thought narrow the path that is righteous
Still, the steps, you took none... Close your eyes...
Waiting to die... Waiting to die...
