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
