Once I saw the clouds, standing over a cliff
beautous birds crushing the sky in a biff
Once I was in a garden so green and fine
only one rose, yet supplanting it with divine
Oh yet another while, I was full of guile
cleansed by a touch to my soul on an isle
and some other time, with my love for the rain
i sat under a shadow, waiting in vain
now when I stare the sky remained blue,
empty, touched by the kiss of melancholy flue
then i went to the rose, picked to savour it’s beauty close
as I did, the garden wasn’t green no more, only morose
i hoped at the deific touch for salvation
oh a touch I felt, crushing me to damnation
and I waited, so I waited for the rain
with my feet on the ground and eyes to sky, still in vain
then I got up and walked away as grief made its strike
never realizing that I sat in the shadow and not in the light
