Love of Life

Starless night, a fire ahead upon a wind sheltered hill. Drizzling rain and steamy breath, I feel the yearning for you. Lighted by the flickering shine you seem to be nameless to me. But your words, your versant vein recall the charm of the past. Like a swallow in fall, untamed and wild, you’ve vanished silently. Your cold, weary eyes have lost their bright glow of periods elapsed too fast. Love of life, my friend, come back to me, spread your wings and carry me home. To consoling shores, and healing refuges, till my heaven's starry again. Wandering through a twisted maze in search of where I belong. Deep beneath the outer coat I’m all confounded and lost. I may count the stars by night, but they don't look out on me. I may walk a million miles, but life is not coming forth. Like a swallow in fall, untamed and wild, you’ve vanished silently. Your tedious glance, your meaningless look are saddening me deep inside. Love of life, my friend, come back to me, spread your wings and lead me along. To uncharted soils, beyond cumbering bounds, till my heaven's starry again. By and by my life got a dreary taste. Childlike magic disappeared and sternness began. Elusive confidence, blissful ignorance, peaceful mindlessness, defeated and buried in pain. I couldn’t resist Love of life, my friend, come back to me, spread your wings and teach me to fly. To salvation’s dawn, beyond crumbling walls, till my heaven's starry again.
