Make-believe

I thought what I told you yesterday lost its meaning

Ah! Fool I knew no better

Hoping the shrouds never lift

And make them see that which we are

 

Come lets play, you say,

All dolled up and old

Our dialogues written on sheets of our mind

We begin the pretences of stories once told

 

We strive to be what we are not

We shame to know who we are

Running and hiding, flipping through pages

We hope that today is not too far

 

Ah! Fool I do know better

The shrouds were never there

Our words will never lose their way

And they will always see who we are

 

 

 

 

You and I

Across the reaches of the beyond

There is no place to hide

Aching far away

You, in a dewdrop I find

 

Though the elusive droplet

Hides at the end of night

In loving you I know this

It exists because there we reside
