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 |
