Gunshy Views

Gunshy
By LoLa

I'll set a scene; serenity
So sweetly needing vanity
To love your skin in violent winds
Your next of kin to see the end

To dance the way a seeker does
To feel the way it always was
How is it that you never knew?
Your Gunshy views Were never true

Save yourself from searching me
Protect your feet from wandering
Attach the shadows to the walls
Believe the echoes when they call

When weather measures impossibly
Hear Symphonies of merging seas
So violent in the darkest nights
When it's ok to be all right

Come, bleed as you remember me
There's beauty in your suffering
No time for tears, cause This is Now
You are the love that you allow
