View From Love's Hill

I stood on love's hill and watched the sunset Heard my heartbeat through the valley of time It echoed off canyon walls where souls wept Faded with lost sounds of internal rhymes I began the long night where darkness reigns Where the mind plays its sad flute, no one hears Worthless memories, pictures that remained Dissolved so slowly as I screamed, I'm here I waited all night for the empty dawn Faced loneliness and heard its voice within Struggled with anguish until it was gone And found reason and my sanity again I searched the vastness to welcome its peace Stood on love's hill until illusions ceased
