Longing

Perched on a cliff overlooking the boundless lands
The clouds separated by bright rays of sunshine
Watching the world through a veil of innocence
The young boy is captivated by pure beauty

The sands of time filter down, trickling by slowly
Sweet cakes eaten, candles blown out
Wishes fulfilled, dreams crushed
Places traveled, Culture seen

As the man wanders the earth
Thoughts rush back to him of
The wonderful times of yesteryear
When life was simple

Wipe the poison from my soul
Erase the scars on my body
Tell me what would the devil want for
Me to return to that wondrous place
