Who Are We
shadows of the past
visions in the dark
memories that didnt last
echoes of the heart
who are we?
faces with no eyes
emotions without love
humans full of pride
vessels without a dove
who are we?
a forrest without the sun
an ocean without the water
a mother without her son
a father without his daughter
who are we?
are we the whispers in the wind
or a scream in the desert
are we the feeling when we win
or the pain when we get hurt
who are we?
pages without the pen
a year without a summer
an egg without the hen
a drum without the drummer
who are we?
are we the void in an open plain
are we the lonliness in limbo
am i the thunder in an open range
or taps of rain on a window
who are we?
are we the lonesome dove
or are we the chosen sparrow
is it me youre thinking of
or are we the bow without the arrow
who are we?
