The runes landed
for the rest of my life
as she spoke

I sit in my pub snug, and I wait for my mates to arrive
For a year I've not heard or seen them, I hope their alive

The first taste of my beer is like my coming of age
Like the rest of my life as I turn a new page

I've been in isolation I've been lost and then found
On many occasions I'd thought I'd be deep underground

So, I smile at the new regulars they smile at me back
So nice to see you, as they pat my frail back

Alone I still sit, sad my mates never came
I sigh, as I supped, my life will never be the same

"Bartender" another beer to help this old man survive
As he sat and he waited for his mates to arrive

The sea is so tranquil
The wind does not stir
The sails lay dormant
Not even a seagulls cry
Then in the silence of the night
The moon lights a way
As the bodies float on
In the sea so tranquil

I flipped opened the next page
excited at what may be   
The next chapter of my life

But the page was empty

And the dust settled
nothing was left
except the thumb print
a button
the screams of the world
why
I'm only human
It cried
that was the problem all along
The Gods cried

Puts a smile on your face
Puts blue in the sky
Puts the silk in your lace
Puts a twinkle in your eye

The birds start singing
The frogs start to croak
The church bells ringing
The Spring has awoke

Enjoy!

The days are dark, and then the night
My bodies so worn, devoid of fight
Can escape this world and just take flight
I wish I could with all my might

The look in your eyes gives me the will to fight
Carries me through the dark days to a restful night
I'll return to my world on the next incoming flight
To fight for my life with all of my might
