Where Did The Love go?

I thought it had been lost, 

Long ago.

As I walked,

I stepped on the ground

Trying to feel a trace of its heartbeat
Under my feet

Almost dead,

Still pulsing...

I looked around

At the vast fields of a two-sided lost war

(For no-one ever wins a war)

Trying to feel its name in the wind...

Where did the love go?

And then silence.

The awesome consternation

That it had been there all the time,

Sleeping in the beauty of a faded dream,

Waiting for the growth of new wings,

Inside...
