Mythical Stones

do you see that young couple
at the top of the hill
with happiness in their eyes
they dance around the mythical stones
but life will not leave them alone

we were like them

do you see the old couple
they hold their hands
they sit on the bench
in the shadow of the mythical stones
their faces withered by the winds of life
but their looks are warm

we were like them

do you see those two birds
they sit at the top of the mythical stones
readying themselves to fly

we are like them

present but not able to speak
because we are at the gates of heaven
holding our hands
waiting to dance
in the gardens of eden

forever
