A Love Call and Cry
Breeze flowing through golden hair
Bicycle wheels slowly turning without a care
Joy filled her face with such a contented smile
The quacks from the ducks
Church bells chimes caught the breeze in the sky
Gentle flow of water through the village stream
Sun promise for a beautiful day
It was like being in a dream?
An old lady approached and caught the the golden haired girls eyes
She stood very still; a familiar yet distant guise!
‘Jenny’ she said as the girl rode on by
‘Jenny’ she said like a love call and cry!
‘Jenny’ she said and the brakes stopped the bike
She turned to face the woman and met her eyes
Do I know you said Jenny, have we met before?
The old lady smiled and replied that she was her from before
She walked closer to Jenny now without motion on her bike
As Jenny looked closer she saw a familiar glint in her eyes
Jenny it’s me and I am you.
Somehow I came back because I prayed to see life as before.
Before life became such an awful ugly thing the final and most brutal world war
Before seeing your loved ones die for absolutely nothing
The war that is coming will end everything that is beautiful and spiritual for you
The war that is coming will do this to you.
