Voids and Veils
The simple home of childhood dreams
Shimmering scenes in shades of gray
Playful children – distant laughter
Reside at peace in yesterday
Echoes of the past swell within my heart
But we’re weary worn and frail
Yet within the dance we ‘hold’ firm the line
The void alas no longer veiled
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Every road leads from there…to here
And from our nests the fledglings flew
Playful children – distant laughter
The world turns around the few
Quickened beating hearts bound by common roots
But we’re weary worn and frail
Still remain the ties formed in childhood homes
The void alas no longer veiled
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Years pass’d us by and our time spent
The young have come unto their own
Playful children – distant laughter
And soon the babes will all be grown
We as mortals lived in this earthly sphere
But we’re weary worn and frail
Those who came before wait to bid us home
The void alas no longer veiled
