“Acheron wants”

And we walked through the valley together that day
Hand in hand in hand in hand
Never looking
Back
Again
In hand in hand in hand
Buffeted storm gives weigh
Darkness comes too quickly at close of Days.

And we sing so quietly
Hush----they might see
Shhhh------just you and me
Whispers sweet echo ------again and again
Loves searches ---------------last call
To hope -----------no more shouting
In silence-----------peace walks with love
Love ushered truth
In darkest valley
As bombs fell that day
“It is time”-----------he says to me
Determined we walk towards love’s goal
Towards love’s goal
As darkness fell
Strong winds could not sweep away
In eyes I gaze -----------a smile---------a grin
Hope becomes this night
And we, together, in valley’s heat
Begin to climb
To climb.
To climb.
Amen.
