Here, Now, Forever

I saw you in the sunlight,
glazed upon the water.
You knew I knew you knew I saw,
Yes, love, you were smiling.

A black rose blooms,
In a city that doesnt exist.
Friends I've never met but know,
A black rose blooms,
and you were crying.
Crying, on we reap and sow.

I reached for you,
So many times I did.
I screamed.
I called your name.
I wanted to grip your labored hands.
You saw me not, 'tis all the same.

I saw you in the sunlight,
glazed upon the water.
I saw them all,
and they saw me.
A black rose blooms.
and 'tis for thee.

Reap and sow, these weathered fields,
These centuries of not and no.
Slash and burn,
You wont return,
Wary of the jester's woe.

In a familiar city that doesnt exist,
Among faces I've never seen but know,
I'll meet you there,
I promise you.
I'll meet you there,
and know.

Blackened roses,
Reaped and sowed.

this can soothe a  soul
and give a breath of fresh
life to soul
which a heart n spirit
couldnt part without to fly to
another level of life
   in a universe which life cant
survive without love for all
especially one
  and self
like other dried stones that drift in
space
life sucked out of all living
loosing ones that gave
like the moon and mars  dust is all you find
what is left as life gets neglected from time
many chances was given here
the elements so clear
and close and strong
others came
sadly bringing what their dust
sent away
so many stones drift in the universe
as lifeless  shells hardend
and empty that couldnt
give no more as none
was replaced to give again
a sun  a moon  a deep blue sea
clean air and a seed that was left
before  all the fruits of life taken
thrown to the sea  with  heat and light from the sun  a moon to reflect at night a pale light  to sooth another tree grew
and as their dust fell back to ground life came all around   from lands of sea  lands of air  creatures grew and created anew
hopes of life, but mother s nature is strong  she shows you her world
gives a gift, yet, you wrong,  so throw all the worlds together that couldnt listen
or hear his wisdom  accept her understanding   and use knowledge for eternal life,    to fend on their own
let them learn  how taking feels, how control fails,  how pain lingers,  how love neglected, nor returned   or accepted is placed for a life of their sin, and all still look to the past for answeres that are right in their mirror   past didnt work and ones that did,  others took, ones in space looking for another place,  saw to the future  and understood life here wouldnt survive, with the wrath of god, giving his son to teach the gift of life, and love to recieve the treasure
not of material, most could not hold or see would not call treasure, their blindness held them to their sin, a treasure is in ones chest, the smmile on a face, the glow in ones face  the light in ones eyes the song from the heart, the soft whispers that sooth , gold is love  something you can keep eternally  and forever hold joy and peace   evil couldnt feel  or see so they took  stones and fell trees  to make what is called money  that gave them the power of a king,  that power belonged to the earth,  its elements of life, not meant to be taken to replace what one couldnt feel, no take to that eternal place where no body as we wear goes, mans greed took life not only from land sea air and woman and man
but what and how we became to be  so we shall waller here in mans greed  praying that father reaches a hand to those who survived and believed,  and learned and earned the treasure   a new world a new life   love most importantly
