What answer to this restlessness That wallows deep inside my breast Not found within in the oceans sigh Upon the shoulder of the shore nearby Nor in the leaves to their trees goodbyes As they set sail for autumn skies Nor in the ripples upon the lake Whose echoing ever fails to make A wonting Heart to faithless shutter The litanies of dreaming's mutter Nor in this prison of the mind Whose dusty walls stare back in kind They echo back our longing cries This is where aspirations die The chains without no stronger than The chains that bind us from within Perhaps beyond the horizon lies The answers to these longing cries Which set our feet upon the trails For answers to our hearts travails

Longing
What answer to this restlessness That wallows deep inside my breast Not found within in the oceans sigh Upon the shoulder of the shore nearby Nor in the leaves to their trees goodbyes As they set sail for autumn skies Nor in the ripples upon the lake Whose echoing ever fails to make A wonting Heart to faithless shutter The litanies of dreaming's mutter Nor in this prison of the mind Whose dusty walls stare back in kind They echo back our longing cries This is where aspirations die The chains without no stronger than The chains that bind us from within Perhaps beyond the horizon lies The answers to these longing cries Which set our feet upon the trails For answers to our hearts travails
