My big sister is a blind soldier
She fights against the current that swarms her
Like a blue tornado
Sissy’s love life is always wind blown
And her future is in the shadows
I try to be her candle
But I can’t see in the dark
Trudging through these trials of cement
Life’s like an escalator quick in descent
I want to pull you out, my dear
But its hard when you’re so high above me
I can’t see past what my damn glow shows
My burdens avalanche like dark gray snow
But I must somehow convince you, my dear
I’m still your rock, your refuge from fear
The doctor says we’ll never walk again
We’ll collect dust on our mantles of sin
But I’m by your side and my shoulders are raised
So no reason exists to be afraid
We are two little girls in this massive world
I swear I’ll get a running start and I’ll push you far ahead
I wanna be your dust
You can trust
Your little to sister to make sure you’ll surface
You are going to shine, my dear
An example to generations from here
And I’ll mix my dust with my tears
And mold a tribute to my sissy’s grace
On I’ll trudge through my trials of cement
You’ll look like an angel from where I sit
I’ll shout my pride out loud, my dear
And watch you twirl in the breeze up above
My dim glow will slowly snuff
Buried under that avalanche of dark gray luck
Always remember my hope, my dear
Never forget my love
Never forget my love, my dear
I’ll prove it through my tears
Always remember my hope, my dear
Always remember my love, my dear

EMPTY NEST |
| |
|
|
Sounds echoing through the house of slamming doors Heavy metal turned up to a fever pitch The whirring of the washing machine in perpetual motion Screams of outrage from warring siblings The insistent ringing of the telephone Dogs barking Cats hissing Doorbells chiming Pillows flying Babies crying Oh Lord...WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP! Oh Lord, who giveth and taketh away... The sound of silence ...is deafening today
