Travels Through the Mist

Waterfalls move on through time
     holding mem'ries brought to mind,
But like moments gone before
     there be nothing left to find.

Faces in a painted crowd
     fix their eyes upon the game
In which passing lives are played
     beyond footprints of the lame.

Love has left it's broken soul
     on a vacant one-way street,
He'll be chasing rainbows gone
     'till his journey is complete.

Moonbeams paint the childhood dreams
     in the whitewash of old age,
While hopes fade forevermore
     with the passing of the sage.

Weariness moves us through mist
     and lost days for which we yearn,
Bluebirds wait their happy songs
     for the spirit to return.
