//

out across this gloomy day

Standing in a barren field

I saw the image of ourself

and of the pain to which we yield

::

chasing thoughts of death away

( but thoughts of love also flee ! )

we are the remnants of humanity

Straw blowing in the breeze

::

& yet a spirit !      Still is here

& can ignite the broken will

We can open our closed eyes !

And once again ... See and feel

""

I saw the scarecrow as a dream

As a warning prophecy

As the mask we've come to wear

To hide the love we've come to fear

::

Ah scarecrow ! .... Such a fright !!

chasing us from the Pure Light !

and from each other's true embrace

out unto this empty plain

::

But we remember !

And do remain

Yes !    We remember

And we shall LIVE again

We DO remember

And shall LOVE again

yes !

We shall LOVE again
