Two

It was dark, dark, day-

The lightless sky had gone astray,

Children hid away in fear,

As they saw the evil thunder leer,

But the music still played-

And two hearts still swayed-

Two souls and the wilderness,

Two hearts that won’t forget,

Two words of tenderness,

Two lives that should never have met.

It was a slightly lighter day-

The world was hung in sheets of grey,

Children peeked into the clear,

As they saw specks of blue appear,

But the clouds still wept-

And two hearts still kept-

Two souls and the wilderness,

Two hearts that won’t forget,

Two words of tenderness,

Two lives that should never have met.

It was a bright, bright day-

Faces mirrored the sun’s warming rays,

Children played outside in delight,

Assuaged that they needn’t take fright,

And the trees still offered shade-

And two hearts still escaped-

Two souls and the wilderness,

Two hearts that won’t forget,

Two words of tenderness,

Two lives that should never have met.
