Falling Petals

The heart of the rose

Your words echo all around my head
My heart is filled with lonely aching
I miss your sweet comfort in my bed
my ears full with sounds of life breaking

and eyes mist over and I whisper

Goodbye my love, ride the shallow winds
and I pray that you fly straight and true
and when the quixotic sky darkens
just wish it back to kingfisher blue

Wilting rose amongst the flower beds
but still beautifully innocent
It's scent lingers though the colour's bled
you are changed but still no different

your eyes mist over and I shiver

Goodbye my love, take the shadow winds
I will pray for your soul to settle
It will not hurt where you are heading
and I will catch your falling petals
