Come By the Sword Die By the Sword
Nothing changes
Really
I see the then
As if it were now
I trust that I shall
See you then
Again
Somehow
The door stands open
As you muster
What remains
Pulling yourself
Out of yourself
Denied your burden
Your weathered shell
For me
To see
That unfettered soul
Remaining whole
While the cat slept
And the clock crept
I draw now as then
So close…
Within
The reach of arms
That taught me to hold
I feel them now
So strong
Somehow
Lifting me up
To stumble once more
Firm hands
Help me stand
Place me
Upon the floor
You teach me to walk
Each day
I step toward
The whole of you
Beyond the door
Like a spell
Your smell
Wafting over the years
Perfume
Of daddy’s room
Still tell
Of hope not fears
Of life poured
And poured well
I feel you Pop
I feel your smell
Tis our song
All along
Your laugh
in my ears
Five by five
We alive
In the song
Not the tears
We listen
We laugh
Life surges around
Its my lips
Searching
He who
Taught them to sound
They miss
Your kiss
Hugging me off the ground
Now every day
Somehow
Someway
Each other
A little boy does seek
Your sound
And shadow
Smiling
Me a halo
On every
Best day of the week
