Journey of a thousand dreams



Journey of a thousand dreams

Gather strength
the journey begins

Through milestones
horizons unknown
on the rising wind

Those who fall along the way
to the bitter taste left behind
and the scorching earth

Yet we rise to face the day
to go where we need to go
single stone on open roads
precious light in darkest night
I roamed the wreckage of our age

Scattered like leaves
In the whistling wind
under a crimson sky
crickets in the distance
sing the dance of life

Sounds of branches thunder
above the trembling grass
we sat amidst the weathered stones
bleached by ancient suns
those that walk and talk no more
but left their mark for those to come
They dream no more
and leave to us their dreams
