Promises To Keep

We are but children of this earth and sky, 
  Sworn to yield to one another's yearning; 
We are but visions in a lucid eye, 
  Reflections cast bilaterally burning. 
We are the interlocking of the twins, 
  Pledged unto a blissful undertaking; 
We are a fusion where new life begins, 
  A union of wonder in the making. 
We are the infant dreamers of this day, 
  Proud in optimism and defiance; 
We are the voice with hallowed vows to say, 
  Togetherness, as one in self-reliance. 
We are but lovers in idyllic trust, 
  Collective souls in wakefulness and sleep; 
We are but sacred grains of cosmic dust 
  With hearts and minds and promises to keep.
