|
Landscapes...
|
Entrance my mind with thoughts of ancient times.
|
I wonder...
|
Did they walk this path?
|
|
Open seas...
|
An endless horizon they seem.
|
I wonder...
|
Where did they go?
|
|
Nightsky,
|
source of light and dark.
|
I wonder...
|
Did they comprehend?
|
|
Did they comprehend?
|
Did they comprehend?
|
Did they comprehend?
|
Did they comprehend?
|
|
Seasons running through my veins,
|
like snow melting on my skin.
|
They crawl beyond my flesh
|
and gasp my yearning soul.
|
|
Alas!
|
The force of divinity.
|
What caused its end?
|
What caused this?
|
|
What caused its end?
|
What caused its end?
|
What caused its end?
|
Oh... the end.
|
|
I drown in thoughts.
|
Yet, answers have abandoned this place
|
long ago.
|
Blood runs cold from my arm...
|
|
Another one is now to die.
|
Is he the last to see
|
the graceful entity of Nature?
|
Is he the last to have his heart and soul
|
nailed to Her embrace?
|
|
He passes on...
