God Can Tell

She had lost mountains and rivers On rainy paths through sunny fields Golden chains and lover’s kisses Hidden secrets unrevealed Lost in years of sun-drenched grasses Watching buildings rise and fall Recollections of her childhood Places lost she couldn’t recall She mislaid her youthful fervor And that smile I knew so well A fighter once, now an observer Caught between heaven and hell Now she stands like those before her Some who’ve risen, some who fell She has questions needing answers That only God can tell
