Two Souls in the Twilight

Two Souls in the Twilight

©Olan L. Smith

We are two souls standing in twilight

Singing love's praise; we were the song;

We stood as two when you took flight,

How could I've been so wrong?

When, I set you free in the darkness night.

 If earth, wind, fire and rain

Can walk through the doors of time,

Then we can do it all over again;

We can be true this time.

I thought I lost you

In the driven storm but here you are in my arms;

It was up ― down ― all around when we said adieu

It is us, all over again; we can do no harm.

I lost you through the doors of time;

The one person for me I let loose; you were my vestment.

 [You're so sublime]  

Now, the gods bring us to this moment,

Placing you in my embrace;

Up ― down ― all around―

You and me, once more.

I should have held you tighter,

Never let you go, but you were gone before I knew it,

Saying you had things to conquer;

The river of time took you away; I thought I was unfit;

I wrote our final chapter;

Up ― down― all around―

You and me, baby; you discarded me.

I searched everywhere for you

But you were nowhere in sight.

Yet tonight, in my dreams, here you

Are in my embrace, light itself

Refuses to move ― you sing to me and tell me you're my muse,

Here we are two souls standing in the twilight

Singing our love, for we are the song;

Our flag unfurrowed; you took flight;

My love I was so wrong,

We are liberated in the darkest night.

If the earth, wind, fire and rain

Can walk through the doors of time,

Then you and I can do it over again;

It is you and me; we can do it this time.

Here we are two souls standing in twilight

Singing our love; we are the song;

No longer separated by time; you never took flight,

I was so wrong;

You were freed in the darkest night.
