View From Love's Hill
I stood on love's hill and watched the sunset
And heard heartbeats down the valley of time
They echoed off canyon walls where souls wept
Fading in lost sounds of internal rhyme
Through silence of long nights, darkness shall reign
The mind plays its sad flute, that none will hear
Worthless memories, the notes that remain
The melody so pained it cries, I'm here
On this cold hill I'll await the warm dawn
Listen to voice of emptiness within
And struggle with anguish until its gone
Finding reason and sanity again
I stood on love's hill while searching for peace
Released my troubles, so illusions ceased
