Our Heros

Only the windmill sees
How vain the weather is,
But the windmill seeks lonliness,
What is vanity to a windmill?

It only stirs when the wind
Whispers fairyland secrets,
But the windmill seeks lonliness,
What is friendship to a windmill?

And when starry nights appear
To entertain the lonely windmill,
It shies away from the glow
Turning its favce to the east.

Those guardians of the air
And predictors of the westernly wind
Rust along with the world
And only stop to fall apart.

well the windmill... could represent a person..who has lost everything, lost something it loves and without that thing  the windmill finds no reason for happiness  because the thing was the defintion for happiness
Just My thoughts..

Sorry I like to pick apart poems in my mind.

You better count your lucky stars that everything I wish for..doesnt come true

it actually is talking about our heros, true heros. the ones who do something extraordinary and then shy away from praise. many of them end up falling apart though, their lives crumble.
