Beyond This Mountain

Dear Love,

I’m chasing after you no more,

I’ve done this too many a time before and my feet are sore. 

This path has been long, arduous and forlorn; 

I don’t want to go on.

Is there more to this life than you

Must I forever seek to not be blue

And yet find nothing to erase the hue 

Is it true that you always come through 

If the heart that patiently waits is open and true

Am I a fool to believe in you

I want you no more, 

I’ve cried too many a tear and this heart is broke. 

The promise you made when first I awoke

Is buried in the night of past and all I have is this yoke. 

I shall dine with you no more.

Do not let yourself despair, 

For you’re always in the air 

And all is fair when the banners are raised past the hair

And your name across chests we wear

I will miss you

I will remember you

I will speak fondly of you 

But I must leave this path to you.

Farewell love

May you forever reign in the heart of the dove

And all that shines bright above

Goodbye love
