So Far Away

A meadow made of broken clocks

Etched stones lay overgrown

Puzzles of the inner flesh

Laid out in symbolic linear blocks

Are the seeds of tranquility left unsown

 

Words gone unspoken

So much left to say

I lift my eyes to the sky

My Heaven is so far away

 

I trod a long lonesome path

Seeking answers that lay ahead

Questioning time\'s fateful wrath

The sole of my feet

Quietly trespassing death\'s bed

 

In a small dirt patch I layed

Sewing new seeds of memories to last

Tears of my life fall and yet never fade

Each new piece of grass

Becomes a sharpened blade

 

Internal embraces no longer filled

Tomorrow\'s promises another empty day

I turn my eyes to the sky

My Heaven is so far away

 

Though I\'m still walking life\'s track

Listening to my watch slowly tick

I can\'t help but to look back

 

Though my tears mark this place

Left behind I pay a great toll

Each new day I reach out

To the imprint of your loving face

That you left upon my soul

 

If you could only know how much I miss you

Soft cries in the night as I pray

I fold my hands and hold my heart

For Daddy, you\'re never so far away
