Youth

by

Thomas Granger

Mysterious and undefined
Beauty that can blow your mind
With the difference of the years
She comes around then disappears

As I follow close behind
Try not to let my heart unwind
Coming from within, without
Listening to what others shout

Deeply scarred by passing days
Tricked into a change of ways
Sitting back I try my best
Wishing I could get some rest

Since I can't stop the waters flow
Trying with the things I show
I hope she sees but know the truth
Mistakes are made in passing youth

When she comes into the night
She will see it's wrong or right
Until that day she must abide
To all the rules she keeps inside

Up until the day she sees
Not everything blows in the breeze
Echoes calling out her name
Will never, ever be the same

Hopefully in time to tell
She sees the river that she fell
To pull herself from in the cold
Before time can make her old

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Fields
