Long Years

Reflections of the moon in shallow water the stillness of night after rain Heaven has granted me some long years soon Heaven will want them back The calm of loneliness disturb by the yearning cry of an stray cat A sudden chorus of dogs barking echo and haunt the shadows of night Of all we are of all we achieve thrown against the vastness of time and space Closing my eyes I see her beautiful face so young was love so long the years. Do angels cry for humans Does the wind carry prayers up high is hate the wage of sin Why is love easy in youth Stepping in the puddle the moon dissipates raindrops fall again as the night entwines I walk alone full of memories in a empty heart Seeking shelter, desiring sleep, holding hope.
