As I wander down the avenues
and the corridors of my mind;
I've created a scrapbook of the beautiful moments
in my time upon this planate of mortal
dreams and earthly despair.
And I examine within myself, how things ever
became so confusing, how did everything
reach the point of complete, total and silent withdrawal?
Did I run when I should have walked?
Was I silent when I should have talked to you?
I could have helped you through your sorrow.
Now I wonder - will there ever be a tomorrow
for these dreams of loving you...what did I do?
I will always question - for now it seems I'll never know...
if this gift I offered impressed any
memories of light and warmth upon your dark?
...heartstrings played to you a tune of mercy, light and peace...
sending a lullaby to soothe and calm your troubled sleep.
