Array ( [sid] => 119240 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => 2 heroes [time] => 2006-04-30 01:21:53 [hometext] => [bodytext] => We came upon each other
In the tangled forest
And earth vines
Cutting our own paths
With Swords of Hope
Glinting in the northern lights
And found a clearing
And paused a while
Us two;

To take in colours
And roam some small corners
Present in the circle.
Found a honey flower
And drank a while
Entwined;
Thought we were one.

Then down through the southern sky
Octaves descending
The velvet moans and calls
Of the sleepers
Broke our joining for a moment;
And through those cracks
sharp chords
Seeped
And echoed in our ears
And we sought to dance another tune;
And danced;
Until we found
Our feet were buried
Deep
And dancing no more.

And heroes
Us both
Lost our mirror
Turned away

Now
I and you
Though shocked and battered
Turn our ears again
To Grace
And listen, eager
For the melody that guides us home,
No longer Holding Hands;

To march through tangled boughs
and walk the virgin scree
with bloodied knees
But tender yearnings
Turned once more to God

2 heroes
