the alchemist

Your words i have heard, love,many a time'

but i have pushed them away, at the back of my mind.

my heart, empty and heavy,has waited for your song,

then why have you waited,so very long?

The courage to dream, and the inspiration to hope,

why have you waited so long to show me?

my best years are lost, my youth is wasted

then why do you call me know?

Why do you urge me to run, to fly,

when i have no longer legs to walk.

why do you grant me love and care,

when i can no longer bear them?

Where was this oasis, which you show me know,

when i searched every grain of sand in the desert?

no, it is cruel, i cannot bear what you show me now,

i have no reality now,love,nothing left to give.

nothing i can do, nothing i have left

i can do nothing else;

simply keep on dreaming.
