There is no up
no down
only around
as the hills and valleys erode with water
the time passes
ever slower
all built is soon lost
all found never seen
hidden in the valleys
lain tiny cities built of ash
rolling waves of little
specs dripping black
onto the ground
with each breath fall
tiny cities made of ash
as foundations tumble
eroding the earth
making valleys filled
with tiny cities made of ash
whose walls keep tumbling down
nor wind,
nor rain
can be prevented
causing the little cities
to tumble
tumble to the ground
stone turns to sand
on which are built
tiny cities made of ash.
we fade from light
fall from grace
but such is life
the life I face
My world crying for light
Yet tiny cities made of ash
crumble into the night
when the blue again shimmers
in her eye's life
appears beside whether
cactus or fire fly
The world begins again
memories fade to view
as all returns to mind again
to whisper light
my eyes close and
my mind gathers sight
her eye's I see again
bringing me light.
nor money nor glory
can be remembered
for the memory
from the beginning
or the end
it will never shone so bright
as what I felt that night.
time erases all things
us forgiving ourselves
the forgotten lost
to tiny cities made of ash
with praise for the remembered
can never I see the light
which shone so
brightly in her eyes
the hope of a child
the love of a boy
the lust of a man
for her color to be
his once again
Tiny cities made of Ashe
crumbling
exploding
Burning
toiling
wiping away the past
while the present burns
the past turns to Ash
the future stocks the flame
tiny cities full of salty Ashe
crumbling with each tear
sigh of sorrowful regret
compacting the Ashe
finally turning to coal
From the pressure of moments past
coal forms diamond
diamond a foundation for the future
A mouse turning milk to butter
I build the foundation I walk on
further known as me
nor possession
nor faith
nor fate
can hope to accomplish
the very jest
of a life lived
in cruel humor
but the stars
the golden strands
of the suns blue light
for she watches tiny
cities made of ash
crumble
and
rise
Threw her very eye's
.
