To touch a life yet known
To touch a life yet known
Create a ground where
we can reach another shore
for lives that never touch
That which cant be said
the desperate needing whispered
reach out with gentle hands
Silver smooth wings
leap great heights
too close to flaming suns
topple to ancient seas
Alien to ourselves
through tears
lost in mire
Of love revealed
in a world seemed mad
Touched by the wounded soul
without the telling of being told
the part of the self we do not hold
