| A Life to be Reborn Let us sit and drink joy from A glass of summer wine, Let us smell sweet cherry trees And bathe in warm sunshine. Our days are filled with simple joys And truths we often scorn, So let as sit - and drink a bit; And feel ourselves reborn. Our days are stars, that spot life's sky With visions and with dreams, Your acts are more than words can paint And they themselves redeem. My memory journeys through its shelves For memories long since perished, And though times eyes so softly close Your face recalled, is cherished. And so it is - with simple joys And truths we sometimes scorn, So let us sit - and drink a bit, And feel ourselves reborn. Your mind a woven tapestry, A fragile map of love, Lends tears of liquid diamonds Falling from your stars above. As my elusive train of thought Meanders through fields of vine, I lose my feel for happiness For you seem so hard to find. And all my dreams like birds of prey, Like lightning fall to ground, For I have lost, a love so rich I'd bearly known I'd found. And so it is - with simple joys And truths we often scorn, So let us sit - and drink a bit, And feel ourselves reborn. Now facing what life makes us face, What pains it oft' reveals, A hollow shelf of empty words, A love, that no one feels; A dried up feild of barren soil With little hope of fruit, My draining heart of stone now feels Alone and destitute. Unfertile dust on windswept fields, My heart shall cease to pray; And as the sands of time expire My love shall blow away. No chance of rebirth shall I have For you yourself have none, You gave me love - and took my life, And now your battles won. Upon a hill, 'neath cherry trees My body shall be layed, Below the stars, which once were ours Beneath which we once prayed; And so it is - with simple joys That love we often scorn, So let us sit - and slowly sip And pray we are reborn.
