The Story of the Song
*
Flowers bloomed in the meadow,
Where church bells rang of future.
The sunny rays streamed across the grass
And covered all that would never last.
The deer they grazed in eloquence of fate
But the bear hid in shadows of triumph.
The loon across the sandy lake
moved along with none.
*
So the church bells sing to the tune in one
With the essence of the meadow’s song.
Life flits by and the world still goes on.
Nothing has ended, it’s only just begun.
*
The couple stream from the wedding,
Hair flinging and a veil falling to the light.
They prance and laugh, and share a kiss of mirth,
For soon they shall experience birth.
*
Their beginning as a couple
Is a mystery, but we know they are double.
Twice the heart of love is many,
And too few is love where it is empty.
*
They come and go through the meadow of time
And soon their child comes of nine.
He sings and dances among the stars
The night has fallen, and there shall be scars.
But the little one doesn’t see,
For the night shelters thee.
Prancing along until the day
He enters God’s hand to say…
“When shall my life begin?
I’ve waited so long.
Never have I felt so empty,
Or lost without the cause of love.
There is no one’s hand to hold
No shoulder to cry upon.
Who shall lift me up,
And who shall I hug?”
*
Twenty years pass among the land,
Yet still the meadow lasts,
The man who cried to God one day
Now holds a child’s hand.
They laugh and play, and sing a song
Of no worries and no woes.
Instead they sing of fate and love,
In the meadow’s everlasting song.
