The Infinite Journey

(This is a song)

Falling leaves and bitter trees,
framing of the sky.
The sun that shines into our eyes,
a captivating sight.

Water runs beneath our feet,
through the scattered rocks.
Friends we've made with birds and bees
made it hard to see:

Why do we litter and burn
the life that's around us
and we harm the ones
we're supposed to protect?

The child in the forest
hides beneath the breeze.
The fresh air has gradually perished
with the undoing of our own.

Smiling faces, foolish grins
capitalize our hearts.
The roaring stillness of golden silence
resembles everything.
All we wanted, now that's thwarted
diminished in every way.
There we stand
all hopeless now
staring at the wall:

The great wall of silence come
before the time begun
and it ended before we even knew.
How do we go from here?
We are lost in the horizon.
Now we're back to where we've just begun
in a journey of our own.

Falling leaves and bitter trees,
framing of the sky.
The sun that shines into our eyes,
a captivating sight.

Water runs beneath our feet
through the scattered rocks
Friends we've made with birds and bees
made it hard to see:

what this life can ever be.
