No Greater Sorrow

I am bewildered by this cruel fate
Clouding my judgement
Sowing the seeds of life in soil of ruin
The winds feel silent and kissed Death's wings

It's colder than before, still the winter's passed
And springtime haste fully took all it came for
Often I stare at the clouds drifting by, imagining you there
Like formations of a dream adrift from me

The moments are gone but you remain
If we had wings we would leave the seasons behind
Escaping this quiet shroud always haunting us
We sleep now in the ashes blowing in the wind

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery

And there you are – alone like me
The mountain I must climb
The lush garden I fail to nurture
And when I have nothing to say
I'll let this slip away

I wonder who we are now – what we're supposed to do
Each day only shadows comfort me and you
Each day we let it pass and then we die
As dust fall from heavens fire
