It was springtime when you found me
Nurtured me
Helped my take root
In fertile soil rich and new
Through love and caring ways
I blossomed and bloomed
In all my glory for your eyes to view
The joys we shared
As in our seasons together, we grew
Now you lie silent at my feet
No longer to caress my slender limbs
And I grow old, alone, bare
My leaves brown and brittle on the ground
A blanket for your sleep
Two of us together, sharing rich and fertile ground

"Bleeding Dust"
She walked away from barren land
To seek some life {love}
In new found ground
Away from bleeding dusty sands
She found another broken heart
Bleeding with this land
Stark reality now facing her
All she could do was just stand and stare
From dust to dust she soon will be
Living across this barren land
Where hearts will forever be!!
As bitter tasting waters from above
Torched and burned away
Poisoned in time and remembrance
But when time does come to say goodbye
As hot dry wind blow bleeding dust away
And as harshness scorched the ground
To turned clay into bleeding dust
We will rest our heads on barren sand
As bleeding dust will fill our hearts
And with dripping tears in drifting sand
We will feed this once barren land
