I see your face in stages
As I flip through the pages
Following your story as the war around you rages
Significant in elegance
A cruel world's recompense
But fervent in your rarity and ever present subtleness
In no history books are you written
A blip in a grander vision
A story of mistake and scars from varying decisions
But I flip through and see you
And in this your story rings true
And I see the flaw and wonder that only living can accrue

I see your face in stages
As I flip through the pages
Following your story as the war around you rages
Significant in elegance
A cruel world's recompense
But fervent in your rarity and ever present subtleness
In no history books are you written
A blip in a grander vision
A story of mistake and scars from varying decisions
But I flip through and see you
And in this your story rings true
And I see the flaw and wonder that only living can accrue
