The Return

To lay my head on your blessed arm

I take my cue from the willow tree

For it don't break from just one storm

But bends with a strength that keeps it free.

When I was young my love was bold

Bold like rock and rock like cold

Kind love came and said it would be true

But I turned away as though I always knew

That bonds are formed from outside time

Our major goal is to absolve our crimes

Let your steps be travelled with that knowing smile

It's no toss of coins that longest mile.

For those who think, don't analyze

For those who weep, dry your eyes to see

It's from those we've served, a paradise

And form those we've wronged, pure ecstasy.

Because happiness is a moment's glance

The spin inside the circle's charm

And I walked my line to have my chance

To lay my head on your blessed arm.
