tim's Bits and Pieces - 53. No Hearts and Flowers
You take my hand and we walk in fields of flowers
And though it’s winter, deep and bone chilling
You walk in summer in this dream we share
Through my tears, I see you, with me always
And I wonder what you’d be, if you’d lived
But, ever to me, you are young and laughing
I will live, like you asked me to, but … I pray
Pray that this isn’t really all there is
My thoughts stray ... to life and its significance
And how truly little it means, and we
walk on the graves and bones of ancestors
Generation after generation living and dying
While we build and destroy, murder and die
Over and over, eyes forward, don’t look back
Yet I cannot help but reach for your hand
Smiling, you reach out; hands turning to bone
And I pray we will get back those stolen years
Logic rightly screams at my foolish longings
And I know what the likely truth is
But my heart doesn’t want to hear it.
