Tears On the Wind

Once, my tears fell,
As if in hell I did dwell
Once, my tears turned bloody
For my heart could not meet up with cruelty!

Life seemed to be a dark shadow
I sunk and sunk into deeper sorrow
Having no hope of ever being renewed
Believing God Himself to be, for my plight, all crude!

But, then, I felt it, the mercy of the Heavens
Tears they were, going on with the flow of the wind
True, my soul was one so fallen
True, I was the one who had sinned

But the essence of life was made known to me
Nothing can keep me, here, free from misery
Yet, it is all temporary
Remember it all, said the good angel fairy

Remember, this world is a prison
Here, the fools have good reason
The wise are those with derision
And the blind follow the path of illusion

Long was this conversation with the angel
After he was gone, I smiled, 
No more did I believe myself to dwell in hell
Now, I knew I had to live my life, all the while!

Tears, they were, so bloody, so sorry
With the wind they have gone to another reality
Now, remains my scar, healed and sewn
Wishing to make the story of life, to the world, known!
