Twisting roads
Put upon, or of our own
Love was mystery, shared in our restless souls
Who or what could untangle us
Wonder found thoughts of fine and narrow
Might take us to a peaceful place
Ours a quiet shine
I looked at you and felt a pull
You didn’t even know
Crumbling, for never to know
Was the way I figured it would go
Closer then, you felt my wilt for you
And, for me, you decided to instead let it grow
Ours a quiet shine
Hearts that were hurt made quivering call
Can you hear me
Do you feel me
Love, no – rather first
A connection of only emotion
One to soothe, one to smooth
Ours a quiet shine
We gave what was left of us
A risk to try again
To fly where we only had dreamed
Time for once was ours to behold
Could we be bold, leap, exalt
Ours a quiet shine
Years later, we formed our two
As then one, to then make two more
A home, a family, a life
From columns of love, built to protect
To then send off, with love and will
Ours a quiet shine
