The Riddle - Ten

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 oceans

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 life time 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 its 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
