Silken chains
Silken chains
So long ago
we were so young
and gave no thought
to what might be
forever seemed
so very clear
we were so sure
of what would be
so many days
we did dance
so many nights
in joy were passed
and years did pass
so slowly by
with little change
by us seen
and yet somehow
a day did come
where change did come
so suddenly
tomorrow now
we could see
and that our end
it would bring
days of fear
now we know
and nightmares do
fill our nights
yet so slow
the days do pass
grow into weeks
and months too
and now somehow
we would flee
to run away
to another day
yet words do tie us
and promises were made
and from them
we cannot flee
the dark of night
is growing near
and we do
it’s coming fear
and yet somehow
we too can see
another dawn
another day
and for it
we do long
and it too
we would flee
yet we cannot
forget the days
when we were young
could not see today
though we have lost
what we once knew
those days are lost
and night has come
the love we knew
still does blind
till does pass
the coming night
