Raymond

The missing piece 
 A detrimental discovery 
What has been uncovered is a guy that might be quite lonely 
In the arms of the world around him 
A life trimmed from the limbs of the living 
A brother in the beginning 

Where’d you go? 
Evidence isn’t evident to show
Searched high and low
Disappeared into the dark without a glow 
We don’t know what’s been unknown
Families torn, again to be sewn 
Rose to the occasion 
Thorns that expand their growth 

The lost man 
Alone as he stands 
What was his plan? 
Did he execute with his granted hand? 
Uncle of the sky 
Were you alive before you died? 

The youngest escaped the fate and got away 
Where’d you go? 
Is an expedition too late to locate your trace? 
Should we take a leap of faith and just say: 
“It’s safe to say there’s no way we’re mistaken” 
An idea that lies in minds that knew you had your time in life
