You stand atop the mountain
The slopes run wildly from your feet
As life my friend, as life
You wander in your mind
To times you thought were forgotten
To times as cold as winter
When mountain peaks were distant dreams
As elusive as love but often
Easier to attain
You've claimed the mountain now
You wander in your mind as
The sun sets behind you
Memories of other sunsets, only a shadow
Sunsets on far away shores
Where breezes cooled the night
As time cools old passions
Where tides roll slowly in
Covering your footprints
Stealing your daytime memories
They've claimed the beach by now
As well as the heart surrounding both your names
Almost to the tree line run the waves
The shelter of the trees
How often you need shelter now
Shelter from the daytimes
Protection from the dark
Forever running from your shadow
But what do you run from my friend....
In truth
You run from love
She gave you all
What to do with such passion
When you can't give back
You want
You take
You give
Nothing
Keep running... |
