To the Goddess of Royal Ruins

Acorns are falling And autumns beginning to fade Been lonely for sometime Now I can’t find a smile My shadow walks But I can’t find my knees A disarray of fallen leaves Brushing away my ease Carel is home Caroling with the wind December sings her song Do you even notice I’m gone Note to myself The clouds are dipping low I have to become something more Before time lets me go When everyone’s preaching the same tune And only new founders loom With decimated friends I fail to comply Taking inventory among a pharaohs tomb If you can’t appreciate me at my worst How are you to recognize me at my best He would sing a lot From a voice that was dull Walking on broken skeletons This great wall of china moans Shadows dance dimly toward your hand as the sun brushes against the sand Now that time won’t allow my stay On this day that lives with us My comfort seems to push you away Now I can’t feel you there
