The Window Two Old Souls Worn like leather through time Once more a chance to begin After paying for some unknown crime Many years and places We've been to and back Many remembered and forgotten faces Have tried to fill the lack Tremorous and anxious we breathe Can the gift of life once more smell sweet? Emotions conflict and seethe As two hearts skip a beat Having searched high and low Through the eyes two strangers recall The memories of long, long ago Of a fairy tale with a carriage and ball Battered and toughened by pain They brazenly dare to chance The long walk through the rain Another bout with Cupid's lance Giddy and nervous like the young Feeling the true fear only an adult may possess Bravely seeking that song unsung Heard only in a soulmate’s caress
