A Sage's Garden

The sky is grey And no longer warm So we decide to walk Through the rainless storm The forest, once green and temperate Has become bare in form Yet it is our only way Through the rainless storm Soon the branches sway And the bark begins to swarm For we might not make it Through the rainless storm Our journey has been long And hard enough to leave us torn But somehow we will make it Through the rainless storm Voiced

The land is dry And our hopes are gone So we'll have to wait 'Til the lightless dawn So bring forth your valiant efforts And greatest song For beauty does not wait 'Til the lightless dawn Cast out your cries of agony And fall into the night, so long Struggling restlessly as you wait 'Til the lightless dawn Our eyes edge open And to the sky they look on But for a sun that will endlessly wait 'Til the lightless dawn Voiced
