Tears On the Wind

Once, my tears fell, As if in hell I did dwell Once, my tears turned bloody For my heart could not meet up with cruelty! Life seemed to be a dark shadow I sunk and sunk into deeper sorrow Having no hope of ever being renewed Believing God Himself to be, for my plight, all crude! But, then, I felt it, the mercy of the Heavens Tears they were, going on with the flow of the wind True, my soul was one so fallen True, I was the one who had sinned But the essence of life was made known to me Nothing can keep me, here, free from misery Yet, it is all temporary Remember it all, said the good angel fairy Remember, this world is a prison Here, the fools have good reason The wise are those with derision And the blind follow the path of illusion Long was this conversation with the angel After he was gone, I smiled, No more did I believe myself to dwell in hell Now, I knew I had to live my life, all the while! Tears, they were, so bloody, so sorry With the wind they have gone to another reality Now, remains my scar, healed and sewn Wishing to make the story of life, to the world, known!
