The Silver Tree

I saw upon a silver tree,
	One who might have sat with me.
		Once upon a blue-moon sky,
			That was where time would never fly.

Away, Away,
	Never to have returned.
		And I would have been content,
			But I still yearn.

For the one who sat on the silver tree,
	
For I knew, peace, he gave,
	For the ones who would walk his ways.
		So now I go back to the silver tree,
			And wait for him to sit with me.

Elysium

I look down upon the fields of grain,
	That are now sands in time,
		And I realize how could I be so blind,
			With my own life?

Instead of letting it grow,
	And be a beautiful wheatfield for so many,
		I now stand upon the desert,
			Which I have chose to roam unendingly.

It seems to me that it started long ago, 
	So many little vicious things,
		That did not let my wheat grow?
	
So now I sit and wonder,
	At what I have done,
		And ask myself truthfully,
			Can I fix what I have become?

Could it really be so easy,
	To fix what I have done?
		To be good to others and share in their delight, 
			Instead of of tearing down, and pillaging in the night?

Indeed it seems,
 that I can remedy my mistakes,
	But it seems that, still I have the choice to make.

So goodbye, so long, 
You may see me in my sand,
		Working hard and working long,
 To remedy the works of my hands.

Someday, I hope you will return,
	And you will see a paradise, a place where I have grown the wheat, 
I have done good, and have remedied my lands.
	For I will have finally avenged the works of my hands.

(Someday, when I hope you will return,
	You will see a paradise, a place,
		And be with me, in my lands)
