In the wounds of the earth The water runs continually Tearing Leaving marks in stones Ripping Bringing life where there were none Creating From nothing In my mind dwells Theses thoughts like water Of a life long lived Where things were different But still so alive The past keeps following As a ghost A reminder of pain As water are memories It brings sense in life But leaves invisible wounds Ripping our innards With an invisible whip Ripping our innards With a whip of spikes As years pass The wounds become scars We become ruins Remembrance remains Scars remains And with it the memories With a glimpse of hope In death’s bed
