through the years...

... and tears
growth shared
the laughter and joy
of discovery
pent us against the world
you and i

hardened hearts broke
against bastions of love
a wall of shared commitment
that spanned eternity
and lifetimes

the thought of you
dream of us two
toiling in tandem
bringing light to the world
will never die

through the years ...

...and tears
all i said i meant
the pleasure of knowing you
the secret sin of us two
the world yet knows
but whispers not

the truth we share
despite ongoing drama
and unscrupulous friends
above it all
we glide upon wings
of light and laughter

open to the cosmos
we sing
leaving worldly things
behind
unafraid to be
free
you and me
