Shadows of Life

Lets make our hearts
Wander into the fields
And listen
To the magic whispers of bending grass

Sounds like the wind
Blowing through the hollows
Eyes drifting
Towards the stars at night

My heart sings of joy
When I close my eyes
And dream
About opening them in yours

My face tightens with pain
As I am lying awake
And wonder
How long we’ll be apart

I’m going back home
Walking alone on this earth
And glancing
Down at the ground under my feet

A footprint in time
Lasting only a brief moment
And going
Away from you now

We can fall so far away
Speeding up fast
And get lost
Fading into the noisy crowd

When even the dust
Gathers into the corners
Of our minds
Our memories will grow old

In the shadow of life
Hiding from my feelings
Stuck in time
I am so lost without you

Actually it does comes across as little sad, but in reality I didn't think about it that way when I was writing it. I was attempting to be more symbolic of planetary events coming and going and comparing those to periods of love shared in relationships, reflecting on my own current status and such. typing
