The Riddle

I watched the Earth revolve from space

And the light turned cold today

Two hemispheres bequeath the day to darkness

Gold to grey

Why does love evade our soul

We born, we die, but never grow,

But I remember

I watched the sand release the waves

No emotion thrown away

Returned what entropy remained to the ocean's

Slow decay

The first to learn is last to know

The truth behind a trusting soul,

But I remember

When you and I could face the world,

And meet in the middle

Not just a boy, not just a girl,

In the cradle of the love that we found,

It was never ending love that we found,

Repeating the riddle

Warmth from the fire emanates,

Ash and emhers glow to fade,

Phoenix-like flames rejuvenate,

Colours ebb and flow, re-made,

To live a lifetime and never know

Where the answers come and go,

But I remember

When you and I could face the world

And meet in the middle.

Not just a boy, not just a girl,

In the cradle of the love that we found

It was never ending love that we found.

Defeating the riddle,

Balanced on the edge of sleep

These things unfold,

Is it harder than it's ever been?

To comprehend these things,

Much less to know

Just what is and what should never be,

Do spirit-guides beyond the maze

Take the last grave stone to graze,

Or is the Firmanment to blame

For the pathways home again?

The seasons of my time have honed

Such a tale in flesh and bone,

But I remember

When you and I could face the world

And meet in the middle.

Not just a boy, not just a girl,

In the cradle of the love that we found,

It was never ending love that we found.

Completing the riddle.

When you and I could face the world

And meet in the middle.

Not just a boy, not just a girl

In the cradle of the love that we found,

It was never ending love that we found.
