Words And Deeds

For you I've traveled long in tribe
She never left my side
Then I told her of the war
The Deed against the Word
The endless fight
Courage for everything they said
Silence for every deed they preyed
And where she stepped the grass did grow
Another layer of soil beneath her ancient eyes
Courage for everything they said
Silence for every deed they preyed
I have fought the good fight in Dreams - Inert all else
In Deeds I have quietly watched - then wrote it all down
She sailed away on the warming seas
She kept her eyes turned away from me
