Alchemy

Another year walks in to history
Days and months vanishing beyond the horizon of time
evenings in amber fade to the yawning nite

The walls of december painted in snow white
when yesterdays and todays fade away
lost in time I play my role in an ever asking world

I look around and all I have is my self
I see my shadow, taller and taller
as the young nite driven on by time

Gets older, the gleam of the moon
lights the dark world, tucked by the pillow clouds
The mystery of life unfolds as the great galaxy in the sky

I wont walk on the face of earth forever, but she would
I cant count the shimmering stars but she can take it back
I cant ride the horse of time but she would

My slumber has only been of dreams
that rose and rose from the chimney of my mind
the smoke of doubt has cleared
the flame of life that ebbs with every breath of mine

I care less I dont care more but I carry the truth
and I want to live, amd I want to love
the self and the soul and what should not be

The river of dreams flows to the oceon of time
the candle glowing bright
the alchemy of life carries on...flutters on

I have seen them come I have seem them go
many left some faded few remained as immortals
I prefer to be beyond...and wish to be wanted

I wont last for long...and before its all over
I want to live, the way I want it, with the one I need
Nothing else matters.
