When the Sower Loses His Seeds
Up! They reach in new awake
Wanting to win them all
Welcoming others in their sake
Those who fly, slither and crawl
Though dry they crumble
And cold they fall
Weary feet have trampled
Plucked, crushed, and hauled
Still they lie at his door
So still they lie forevermore
It streaks the ground with golden lire
And turns every vain eye
It walks alone, calling no sire
Beats hearts enough to cry
Then glass breaks the delusional fame;
Lines carving the stone
Another soul lost in the game
Still empty lays the throne
From the room, walking into dark
Lone hearts call their pain alike
Innocence paints the face
And lets eyes wander free
Gentle wods and touches pace
The naïve mind to stay in glee
Then from the shadows comes the one
To steal thy lovely joy
Forever stained has now begun
New life for the toy
Dull eyes now dry, and crimson hands
Sentenced to try and rid they sins
Knots are tied and hearts be pulled
Whichever way allowed
Off from what has once been told
And in one second in the clouds
For soon the storms that roll in
Destroy your peaceful state
Doomed now inside the grim
Your heart forever regrets
Now never to be cleared
Are times ever to be feared
The cry that sounds over valley's below
Imprints new light in the earth
Its joyous bloom makes its presence known
As is meant to be of worth
Darkness encloses the bright life
And buries in its claws
Spirit releasing the mournful life
The black curtain now drawn
Still they lie at his door
So still they lie forevermore
