Just a Memory

The Twoleg church bells rang aloud

The kits played in the forest now

Some elders part of ThunderClan

Still remember deep inside their minds

The silent hope from long ago

That their old home wouldn't die or go

This new place was alright they thought

But how could they forget the great majesty of the highrock

Overlooked by Fourtrees hiding part of shiny Silverpelt

The orange moon caressed so lightly by the green of newleaf sweet

Oh how they missed their olden home that now was just a memory

The sweetness of the silent moors

In which WindClan once freely roamed

They once were there and thriving well

And running wildly all the time for moors have few a tree

And sadly all the WindClan cats reminisce of that old land

And say like whispers lost in time: it's just a memory

RiverClan, you clan of water rushing in blue streams

Every drop of water in their rivers fed the tender saplings

But now your old home is not yours

O how you wish to see the place that never more will be

And like a leaf blown from its tree

The RiverClan cats sigh:

The place I knew and loved and thrived is just a memory

ShadowClan, distant, forlorn,

Lost to all who search for you

The memories some cats have of your muddy landscape vast

Though you are not existing

Are memories that echo "come back home and find my soul"

But sadly all these memories are only what are mindfully considered

And not what to be seen

Distant, lost to time, now just a memory
