Then There Were Four

Once there were five They triumphed the land of the living Their fairy tale glowed When the sun rose, And the moon set They were invincible strong, Benevolent. And their song played on For 27 years, Maybe some more Until one day, The angel of death approached She whispered “Your time is near” Suddenly chaos hit- All was abrupt It was hard to breathe for 3 years It was hard to see the light Hard to imagine the good When we were fighting the evil 3 years gone strong, And the five were a solid foundation We found appreciation In all the little things And then, flash bang A grenade came tumbling in- And then one was gone It was survival mode The days became endless Time became apparently useless For it tricked our minds and hearts Thinking it would get easier And here we are 2 months later In the same time we were when it exploded Like the big bang The four went on, Hardly strong, Barely hanging on- Able to grab hold of one another All the love held in To give to number one And I think that’s the great question The bigger story we can’t see I think maybe we needed some saving Maybe the four couldn’t go on Without an angel’s guidance Maybe the four were meant to be together And number one, We’ll find her again passed the stars, just all wait and see
