Hope, Love, Regret

I don’t know what I hope to find In the subtlety of change The gentle breeze of a summer night Or autumn’s falling leaves The soft descent of a single tear Left to fall in vain Maybe diamonds make the snow glisten Somewhere else in the world, as the sun sets A new day dawns in the place where my heart Listens for the common theme of hope, love, regret Deep in the shadows of whispering night I question what once I knew In the still beginnings before the dawn I shed the unproven truth Reshaping life into only that Which experience has shown Maybe diamonds make the snow glisten Somewhere else in the world, as the sun sets A new day dawns in the place where my heart Listens for the common theme of hope, love, regret Then further on, if chance would allow it If I could live beyond thought Aware to see past these masks we wear And alive to witness the stars To see the glint of a single tear And comprehend what it had bought Maybe diamonds make the snow glisten Somewhere else in the world, as the sun sets A new day dawns in the place where my heart Listens for the common theme of hope, love, regret
