THIS LIFE

When I awaken in this darkened room
Lonely, it is your name I want to call
Until it is with great sadness I recall
You have all but left me in this tomb

It is spring yet flowers no longer bloom
I would rather be enchanted by the fall
Familiar leaves die at nature's call
Yet I would still feel full of gloom

Nature, how you share your loss with mine
Starving for the freshness outdoors can bring
Instead, I am trapped in this prison of life

My loneliness is much like thine
Wanting to hear the sparrows sing
Pretending there is no such thing as strife
