Did I come here to stay today?
I could have gone the other way!
I am just walking in the dim of light
Turning around to keep seeking right!
The roof has caved in
The fence has fallen
The doors are hanging on their hinges
The windows only open a few inches!
Is this why I came here…
because it was you I wanted near?
Now, a strange light is streaking down my face
It never felt like a rose garden, in any case!
Even the mirror has its scars
But hope is rising like crescendos’ bars!
They tell me everyone needs someone to love
I didn’t ask anything from the stars above
You know, could this be my place of lasting refuge?
I know it may be a place that everyone else refused!
I think, yet, it is so well-defined
The grief in my soul can slowly unwind
And are these flowers meant for all the souls I cherished?
My love didn’t die even as all else perished!
