Our Silhouettes
Our Silhouettes cast upon a dawn sky,
My hand in yours....
A touch from which we do not shy
Lead us now to safer shores.
A gap to bridge,
Between strangers.
Protect you now from unknown dangers.
Your loneliness I will abridge.
One half is mine
The other of your design.
Piece together our own fantasy
In center, you and me.
In sync with this beat
Our bodies now meet.
Support each other
Love no other.
Uplift you
Prove this is true
Veiled in white
Your beauty fills my sight
I do, I do,
I need to be with you
Under steeple stands
Couple with clasped hands
Waiting to be bound
Just as we were found
Wanting of love,
Lips now meet.
A babe's new cries this world does greet.
Held in mothers arms.
Keep her free from all kinds of harm.
Called to serve
Steel your nerve
On desert sands
Guns replace your lover's hands
In the shade of palms
Your world weary palms
Fall to the Earth
A soul free'd from its berth
Half a world away
What can she say
A mothers loss,
Flowers on a lonely cross.
Daughters hands where his did hold.
Left without a father
Thoughts do bother...
Where is father?
