What Good

They trampled upon it and danced without care
Not one eye was cast upon what lay there

A small pitiful voice crying why to the heavens above
Have they forgotten the promise? are their hearts void of love?
Answered a gentle murmuring comforting and wise
What good is a heart if one believes lies?

Winds strong enough to carry away a lifetimes dream
Proves we are not as much in control as we seem

A cry raised to the skies shaken and forlorn
Nothing is left for what purpose was I born?
The clouds seem to whisper as they pass high overhead
Only if one ceases giving is one truly dead

Shadows will rise and overwhelm those full of hope
Leaving them shellshocked and helpless to cope

A plea comes floating from the earth to God's ear
Are we in this alone? Have you ever been here?
Trees rustled gently with barely heard reply
Long before wishes visited stars in the sky
