memories
how wonderful it would be
to know what we could truly be;
if within a world of thoughtless minds
I could find my own; just mine.
The sky below would mean much more,
in mindless winds I’d glide then soar;
with eyes closed tightly would still see,
gold rays of sun that set us free;
for day nor night can ever bring,
hearts within sweet voices sing;
Softly in silence moist red lips smile,
in darkened shadows we pause a while;
until time returns to begin at last,
n' now replaces our forgotten past.
