There is a sadness in the air today, 

I buy flowers,  

Lay them down, 

Candles burn, 

How can you lose what you  never had? 

Or never allowed yourself to have, 

Sometimes walking through the rooms of life, 

There are dusty sheets, 

Memories wanting to be uncovered, 

Brush off the dust, 

Let in the light old friend, 

Remove the shutters from your eyes, 

Forgive and be forgiven, 

Some never truly dance, 

They allow the load to break them, 

But not me and you, 

I long for adventures 

and the open road 

and to build my Castle. . 

A castle of light, 

A beacon of hope. 

You turn me away yet again.  

But I am not afraid. 

I had my part to play.  

Was sorry all the while.  

But take it from one who knows

The fight is with yourself 

Not me.
