Rose Bushes and Paths

here comes the end of it all
wondering never seemed like so much fun
  indeed this road with all these twist and turns
  covered in rose bushes with their thorns
    what is lovely and dangerous all along

Oh the light above
Beautiful white light mingled among the velvet
  such wondrous beautiful almighty wonder speckled dust
  fingers touching along the ridges of the path set forth here
    wander, wander, wander that is all there is to do for now

Red rose petals along the gravel road
Wait here it is the foot prints from when we used to walk
  Hand in hand up and down until the sun had disappeared
  The hopes to find a warm spot to rest from bearing souls
    Souls that I found out later were nothing but generic store bought

there is hope somewhere buried beneath these folds
well maybe, possibly if someone will dig for them someday
  how long must one wait for love again? That long...ok...
  hardly the time to take so long but there is still hope here
    or so it is believed or think, well possibly know is all I can say

Then explanation plays in along this stupid gravel road
The logical is thrown to the west wind and its joyful laughter
  Has it been mentioned that tomorrows are nothing but another day
  And somehow today it is different, a brand new puzzle to work around
    Then it is declared impossible to solve and one must deal with that tidbit

Sweet tenderness is something so lost within the mundane
Forgotten until gently with fingertips brought forth from the depths of myths
  Those old romances such as the ones you remember reading and hoping for
  Or is it the movies, none the less something romantic and you believe again
    The corny love songs hit the top of the list and the sad rock songs a faint memory

this is happiness in its strange turn of colors and choices
or else it a puzzle with no name, no directions and certainly no logic
  none the less a jump over the cliffs and diving into the impossible
  then you begin to love such an impossible feat, trying, deciding
    which is the best way to crash or fall among the rose bushes on this path
