HIGH WINDOW
Above
the world that I once knew
I
look from my high window
I’m
watching as the winds blow
Across
the world I knew.
Forget
the time that passes me
Forget
the ill I did
Let
me court oblivion
Forgive.
Beyond
the days I’m seeing now
I
rove in misty rooms
I’m
drifting in the gloom
That
veils the days of now.
Reject
the visions as they come
Reject
the memories
Let
me rest eternally
At
ease.
I’m
watching sunrise glowing dim
I
see the light diffused
As
sleep to me’s refused
The
sun is glowing dim.
Turn
from daydreams they transcend
Turn
from phantom light
Let
me close my eyes at last
Tonight.
From
windows in the place I built
I
gaze from vanished eyes
I
watch the famished skies
Through
windows of my guilt.
Pray,
embrace the love you know
And
still the march of time
So
I may cast this fading shell
Of
mine.
Take
the beauty while you may
Love
the days you live
Heed
the warning of my words
Forgive.
