BUT FOR THE FOG
THOSE DREADED YEARS
CONTINUE TO PLAGUE MY HEART
WITH THE DAWNING OF EACH NEW DAY
I PRAY FOR A BRAND NEW START.
BUT THE RAYS OF THE SUNSHINE
AND ITS ROBUST SMILE
TRANSCENDS THE MEADOWS
INTO THE BEAUTY,
I RECALLED SEEING IN YOUR EYES.
I SEE YOUR FACE IN THE SHAPES
OF THE CLOUDS
AND THE RUSTLING OF THE LEAVES
CALLS YOUR NAME OUT LOUD.
THE BIRDS SINGING IN THE TREES
REHEARSES OUR WEDDING SONGS
MY MIND IS WEARY OF THIS TORTURE
HOW LONG WILL THIS GO ON.
WITH THE NIGHT COMES THE STARS
IN THEIR HEART-SHAPED ARRAY
SO I CLOSE MY EYES TO THE NIGHT
PRAYING, THESE MEMORIES OF YOU
WOULD GO AWAY.
FINALLY MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED
AND EVERY THOUGHT OF YOU
VANISHED AWAY
O HOW MY HEART WELCOMES
THE DENSE FOG OF THE DAY.
WILFORD BARKER.
