One Thousand Cranes
: Dust in the Wind by Gypsy Blue Rose

What will be left of our love

      when you walk through that door

            and your scent left behind

                  perpetuates lost hope

 

All the sweet nothings

      will be swiped by winter winds

            drift across withered fields

                  covered by useless chagrin

 

The swooshing and howling

      of tempest’s crescendo thrust

            and eolian gusts 

                  reaps my dismantled heart

 

When your passion runs out

      the happy couple carcass 

            will pass on with time

and only a glimmer of us will last
