Somber Clouds

Clouds had gathered, air was mild We climbed steep rocks among the wild There, hidden so high beneath the trees Were two marked graves among the leaves We climbed steep rocks among the wild This lonely place so long forsaken Were two marked graves, among the leaves Ingraved were the names of those who died This lonely place so long forsaken Timeless heartache rekindles once more Ingraved were the names of those who died Awakening my grief, as tears fell Timeless heartache rekindles once more Who was this mother, who was this child? Awakening my grief, as tears fell Birds are singing with bitter cries Who was this mother, who was this child? Skies sprinkle the earth with memory Birds are singing with bitter cries Clouds had gathered air was mild ......................................................................
