We stand on the red of the alien horizon
We were the braze few once
before the false horizon fell
The man made sun lit the old sky
And all we once were caught and burned.

Now it is all just dreams
No longer will we be blessed with green
No true colours will calm us inside
No blue sky to greet us awake
No rain to hide the emotions pour

So we each have our dream
Our yesterdays we can not put away
We do not speak of it here
As if our shared past were ours alone
As if they were just collectied secrets

"I recall a fine day
The walls bright and clean
A house lived in love
A life of sun and warmth

I taste air so sweet
and kisses and angel feet
She comes to me
And holds my hand

We stand a pair
watching the world spin
watch the winds ride
and the seas flow

She turns and we kiss
It is a lost kind of magic
So simple and now forgotten
Eyes grip each other tight"

And the memory slips

Each night it is less than it was
I reach into my mind to find
To touch that small group of sensations
To draw what I can from them
To convince only myself I WAS there

This is not all there has ever been
We were not always alone
As we were today, as we were yesterday
That what I hold was once real
That I was not always the ghost I am

That it truly is a memory of Earth

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

"We were the braze few once

~feels as if it has..sometimes. great lines!

"No longer will we be blessed with green"
~ sad truth here too.

"Each night it is less than it was
I reach into my mind to find"
~ I stew hard, as *this happens to some of my
best memories too.
