I have heard voices whisper of new lands
Bright realms where the sky shines not blue, but gold
Every detail perfected by God’s hands
And life’s road is paved with riches untold
All my life I have dreamed of such a place
To show me escape from my suffering
Life’s comforts to let me warmly embrace
My hopes and aspirations shall take wing
Toiling hard and fast to fulfil my dreams
Heaven pray give me strength to stay alive
I have fought for half my life now, it seems
And at last, my promised land has arrived
But standing here I see no gold galore
I am just the same as I was before
I lie frozen in the abyss of time,
Blinded by the darkness of days gone by.
Cold winds blow through my soul,
Lightning strikes from the sky.
I lie here by myself,
But I am not alone;
For memories of you, my love,
Inside of me have grown.
Memories rusty with age
Of a time long long ago,
When life was rich and joyous,
Devoid of worries and woe.
You were always sparkling with cheerfulness,
Bursting with joy abound.
I used to love that glow in your eyes,
Your voice the perfect sound.
When we were together,
The world was just a blur
Dancing though the meadows of love,
Floating through life’s river.
And though now I await my angel,
And death around me might roam,
I am not afraid, my love,
For I am coming home.
War
Tears the world
Apart by the seams,
Shakes its people,
Mind and soul.
Destruction and
Chaos
Fiery fury burning across
The lands
No escape
No hope
No life
No winners
