Ladyhawke & Time

[orinocoflow]

If my heart flew away
Would it take magick from today
As if my childhood were my past
I have reached though far from my grasp
A child I was, I am no more
I grow with age, many rings near the core.

A fair weather witch the trees call to me
To sing with stars and roam by sea
Every thing a new found mystery to be read
In passing I grow gray and seedless, enough said.

But in passing the leaves, they cry, bleed
To see my tears fall, a tiny deed
To pay homage to the land, by giving water
No greater love could come but from her daughter.

Lungs will bellow and push the last breath
And my soul will embrace in old man winter's chest.
Spring will bring flowers
Bones will be sown along watchtowers
But my wings will soar along the waves
Where spirit never does reach quite that age.

---This is dedicated to Gaia---

Much love & prosperity,

Lynn

I like it too!

I have read this one several times. It is self propelled and reaches a peaceful end.

I am glad you guys liked this. Whenever I feel that time is passing me by quickly, these are the thoughts I have.

Look at what you have and time will stand still. These are things that cannot be taken away from you.

I tend to think there is somewhere else we go, but I don't pretend to know. I hope its a nice place.
