Ten

The riddle

Ten
I watched the earth revolve from space
And the light turned cold today
Two hemispheres bequeath the day to darkness
Gold to grey

Why does love evade our soul
We born, we die, but never grow
But I remember

I watched the sand release the waves
No emotion thrown away
Returned what entropy remained to the ocean's
Slow decay

The first to learn is last to know
The truth behind a trusting soul
But I remember

When you and I could face the world
And meet in the middle
Not just a boy, not just a girl

In the cradle of the love that we found
It was never ending love that we found
Repeating the riddle

Warmth from the fire emanates
Ash and emhers glow to fade
Phoenix-like flames rejuvenate
Colours ebb and flow, re-made

To live a lifetime and never know
Where the answers come and go
But I remember

When you and I could face the world
And meet in the middle
Not just a boy, not just a girl

In the cradle of the love that we found
It was never ending love that we found
Defeating the riddle

Balanced on the edge of sleep
These things unfold
Is it harder than it's ever been?

To comprehend these things
Much less to know
Just what is and what should never be

Do spirit-guides beyond the maze
Take the last grave stone to graze
Or is the firmanment to blame
For the pathways home again?

The seasons of my time have honed
Such a tale in flesh and bone
But I remember

When you and I could face the world
And meet in the middle
Not just a boy, not just a girl

In the cradle of the love that we found
It was never ending love that we found
Completing the riddle

When you and I could face the world
And meet in the middle
Not just a boy, not just a girl

In the cradle of the love that we found
It was never ending love that we found
Completing the riddle
