Through the Garden Gate -

Waves that eat, soil and stones

Winds that reap, empty homes

Save a piece, of a cliff overlooking

The deepest sea, like a blade

On the precipice, it still stands

Rotting and worh to bits, coloured by hands

Of families, that once thrived among

Plots of irises, so many years have gone

Fairest town, but it grew

Until yamity was all it knew

Made the ocean a foe

A sentence of permanent woe

Incited the storms

A tempest of strife

Only brought at ease

By a yield of life

False alm

Tread into the dive

Bound by the shame

Ignorance be their last goodbye

The leap from which families break

Less echoes surrounding them

For a while

They find solace, with the waves

Through the red garden gates

In the wake of

Abandonment, a boy walked by the streets

Ever reticent, eyes cloudy and white

Every day he spend, hearing of terrors that

Would impend, never the same

With the greyest gone, to rest n the depths

Without sight or tounge, no saviour to be

Called upon, away by the people

He was torn, as sacrifice

Dragged by the hands

Through the remnants of the lands

They had flourished before

Conceit had brought them war

Brought before the precipice

An offer with no voice to miss

Into the world lost

Our from this clean world clean

Into the world lost

Our from this clean world clean

Into the world lost

Our from this clean world clean

Into the world lost

Our from this clean world clean

She rose from where waters they meet the sky

Winds turned to knives and tides ran high

Form of haze, hair like waves

Herald of their kindreds graves

Placed in his hands, two shells from the shore

With these you shall cover in the darkness no more

Take them as eyes, go where they don’t know

A child like you have nothing to owe

Gifted

From what only ever takes

But he didn’t want to view

A wodd build upon mistakes

Pointed a finger to his mouth

So he was given a voice

Plead for the people to change their ways

Innocence had made its choice

Selfless resolve

Selfless resolve

Words so softly spoken

For ears that wouldn’t hear

Soon the waves retreated

And the skies went clear

And the skies went clear

And the skies went clear
