The lightning follows past
the scar in the ground
before the hundled mass
fearing to be found
The angels in the sky
turn the heads away
crying to a god
whose passion seems to fade.

The lightning comes again
to open up their hearts
seeing once again
that they are all apart
estranged from simple lives
the kind that barely wake
they listen to the sounds
the crying angels make.

Heaven is long away
lost to all of us
its only for the gods to play
leaving us this dust
Heaven is far away
for angels coming home
we've been gone far to long
to remember where to go.

This is such such wonderful pondering in your phrases ~

'estranged from simple lives
the kind that barely wake
they listen to the sounds
the crying angels make'

I really enjoyed this thought~

I particarily like this last verse. I like your use of words and vision they place in the mind. But I would have to disagree with you. Very few things are ever lost forever, some just take longer to find again then others.
