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 soulmates caress
