Seed Of Sorrow

Today I sowed a seed of sorrow
Laid it deep in lifeless ground
The earth was cold, the sky was hollow
No light nor warmth to wrap around
A fleeting hope, a fractured prayer
Still drifts within the air

Roots will tangle, time will borrow
Shadows stretch beneath the rain
Every tear that falls upon it
Feeds the hunger of my pain

Oh, will it bloom in shades of grey?
A bitter fruit, a wilted fate?
Will the flowers of tomorrow
Find me lost in what I made?

The wind it whispered in a shiver
Through branches bent and torn apart
The weight of time, a nameless giver
Sowed thorns beneath a dying heart
A song of grief, a fading ember
Still burns but won’t remember

Roots will tangle, time will borrow
Shadows stretch beneath the rain
Every tear that falls upon it
Feeds the seeds of your disdain

Oh, will it bloom in shades of grey?
A bitter fruit, a wilted fate?
Will the flowers of tomorrow
Find me lost in what I made?

Find (it never did) me
I (always) lost
(In neverending dreams)
() Forsaken to the core!)

The ground now breaks beneath my footsteps
Cracks expand in quiet screams
The seed has grown into a shadow
Twisting softly through my dreams
A ghostly bloom in silver sorrow
A requiem for no tomorrow

Today I sowed a seed of sorrow
Watched it vanish in the breeze
But even sorrow leaves its footprints
Blooming scars upon the trees
The roots still whisper in the hollow
And sorrow sings its elegy
