"Life Begins"

"Life Begins"

Life begins when death leaves a clue

Riddles are made to break the soul in two

Leftovers are discarded where markers are kept

Visions will burn once the fires have wept

Man and woman are now sharing their eyes

Each thought is ignored their sins justified

An acorn begins a life that fell from a tree

The water is empty so the tears cannot see

Life can corrupt when all living is done

Death is the traveler taking light from the sun

A drop of blood traded for an ounce of gold

The auctioneer’s on sale if nothing is sold

Words are written on headstones to remember the past

Clues are buried alive for life will never last

Waiting to take a breath or doomed to suffocate

The children stand in line waiting to choose their fate

The road is now open to walk through the night

Those chains are holding down any hope of light

What is held to the past the flowers start to die

The circle begins when life says goodbye

Death takes away when life leaves souls blue

Falling through silence into the ground with a view
