Gentle Slope


I walked a gentle slope
My heart full of hope

A sight serene to me
A sea to see to be free

Traverse the hill
For a lonely thrill

Look upon it all
But dare not fall

An ocean of gray
Where pilgrims still pray

A lighthouse illuminates
Our fate of hate

But still we dream
Of being one team

A nod of the head
The earth is my bed

Wise are leaf rattles
I'm amused by their tattles

If here I fell asleep
My purity I could keep

It's always a pity
That I return to the city

But still I walked a gentle slope
My heart bursting with hope
