By the bank where the forgotten river flows
There's a tranquil place I always go
This chapel of mine
This cloistered shrine
A refuge from the cold world I know
A secluded glade in which I cry
Howling wind in the trees a lullaby
These tears of rain
These drops of pain
This pitiless storm will never die
By the tears on the ground a path is laid
By the sound of a harp my opus is played
This bleak harmony
A tragic symphony
Piercing notes and sullen cries become a serenade
I walk away and leave my soul cast aside
Returning when I need a serene place to hide
Hide the key
To this reliquary
Until the time comes again to bury what's inside
Now that place I loved to go
Is mournfully covered in a blanket of snow
Gone is the glow
The leaves are yellow
The frozen river will no longer flow
Long past my time, at the end of my years
Watch for my ghost, every Autumn he appears
A grave forlorn
No flowers adorn
Never forget this path, forever laden with my tears

That's it. I hereby steal thy talent that I may become un-green with envy. Another beautiful one, VS.
Keep writing (or suffer),
