Blooming Gardens

Fields of darkness I’m running through
White gardens are all in bloom
Barefoot children running cold dew

Deceiving reality I’m in a bound
Caught by a verse of a poet
Failing the last ride of day’s sound

Avoid the light, it hurts
Everything we’ve might have become
Heart still hopes, silently burns
For all stories written to bring us back home

For everything I’ve sent you a life
Hold it dear while the song still plays in your heart

Gardens dwell in silver bloom
Falling grace of all days
I shared with you

Tower will lead me astray
Tolling bell to hide dreams away
Run across to follow me, drown
Just don’t turn around

The end of days will flow
Withering life of fading piano
Will tell me to let you go
For all the days cascaded
Bearing the grace we shared

Million faces withering in the dark
Pieces of puzzle combined in one
Revealing the face, the dearest one to my tolling heart

Falling with rain upon dead ground
Caressing so dear every symphony’s sound
I’m falling down into the dark to vanish with all
Silver-blue gardens still calling in bloom
