View From Love's Hill
I stood on love's hill and watched the sunset
Heard my heartbeat through the valley of time
It echoed off canyon walls where souls wept
Faded with lost sounds of internal rhymes
I began the long night where darkness reigns
Where the mind plays its sad flute, no one hears
Worthless memories, pictures that remained
Dissolved so slowly as I screamed, I'm here
I waited all night for the empty dawn
Faced loneliness and heard its voice within
Struggled with anguish until it was gone
And found reason and my sanity again
I searched the vastness to welcome its peace
Stood on love's hill until illusions ceased
