Analysis of Gather strength

Gather strength
the journey begins
through milestones
of horizons unknown  
on the rising wind

those who fall along the way  
to the bitter taste left behind
and the scorching earth
yet we rise to face the day
to go where we need to go

single stone on open roads
precious light in darkest night
I roamed the reckage of our age

scatter like leaves  
in the whistling wind
under a crimson sky

crickets in the distance
sing the dance of life
sounds of branches thunder
above the trembling grass

we sat amidst the weathered stones
bleached by ancient suns  
listening to those that
walk and talk  no more  
but left thier mark for those to come

they dream no more
and leave to us thier dreams
