HIGH HOPES 2

wrote this down,sitting in class today.....kind of a sequel to high hopes.......


high hopes





waking up to feading dusks , bare bodied on smoking grass,
starry eyed on sleepless nights
time spent on frozen wings,warmed to the smolten skin
of a thousand livid fights
running inn clusters,lost in a haze,past guarded by
a viscious fang
straining our minds,to hear the sounds of how
the division bell ever rang
imprisoned in rusty fetters,lying in murky dungeons,
waiting for the morning light
filtering through bars of steel,lacerating the dark,
escaping by a cunning slight


The grass was greener,
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

looking beyond the misty fields of a strife torn past
lasting rays of a lusty will
looking back,but blown by the wind,
theres reason to dream still
running races,flagged by unfulfilled dreams,
climbing higher and higher still
catching storms on tattered sails,and fate turning
like wind driven mills.

The grass was greener,
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river......
