The Beacons Of Somewhere Sometime (Part 2: The Path)

It wasn’t long ago
That you went astray
So silently
So quietly
Too faint to walk this old road

This winding path you trod on
Troubled with fear
Was paved with
Grey-colored clouds
Ain’t no bright Turner sky

There was a weight
In the shape of a man
Infallible
Monument
The unbreakable hand

There was a weight
In the shape of a war
Invisible
So close it still
Weighs heavy on me
Let it go now

Remember the life
Remember the love
For that is all there is to say
And this was your life
And this was your love
Beneath a canopy of stars
And this was the path that led your way

And there is something
That you have passed on to me
Timidly
Shivering
Just like a moth in the palm

These are memories
The shape of a song
Gratefulness
Gentleness
Weighing softly on me
I won’t let it go

Remember the life
Remember the love
For that is all there is to say
And this was your life
And this was your love
Beneath a canopy of stars
And this was the path that led your way

Remember the life
Remember the love
For that is all there is to say
And this was your life
And this was your love
Beneath a canopy of stars
And this is the path that led our way
