Flowers of the Past

As darkness recedes away First light along the break Exposing a buttered canvas Set ablaze The gentle summer breeze Excites the scenery As colors flood the air We're almost there An end in sight A sea in light

Now here we are Laughing 'til the sun sets to the dark We won't be silenced Screaming with a voice set to the stars I know we'll reach them Living in a mortal dreamland Knowing that our days won't last forever Aware that time Fades all to nothing but sweet memories

As time shifts in gear For seven years In an ever changing atmosphere Radiance along the sea Forgotten with maturity Here's three cheers for eternal youth For endless melodies and harmonies That weave through every heartbeat A symphony that'll always stay in key

When nature seals a fate that's so heartless The silence steals away what's held dearest A trial to keep the pace While haunted by the faces gone away And moved on

Now I Wonder why we went our separate ways A lost connection Puzzled why I ran and lived astray In isolation Frozen as the seasons change While troubled by the face that passed away My heart aches

And it's Begging me to leave the past behind A bid to let go Wishing for the brighter side of life In a new tomorrow Farewell and goodbye Our days are gone forever But the times we shared They'll live on as memories
