Shaped
in
such a way
Depicting the life
it wishes
to display
No subtle changes
no
great curves
Just a shape of a life
a life
lived
celebrated
in
such a wondrous way.

Do I know you?
Do you know me?
Do you wake in the night
Wondering how I could be?
Is your first thought in the morning about me?
Your last question as your eyes fall asleep
Is it, is it all about me?
I didn’t think so
I knew it wouldn’t be
Cause I never think of you
And
You don’t know me.

You find me
I try and find you
together we’ll muster
all our thoughts
and
really make it through
Our minds will create
a space
so pure, so true
Our arms will
embrace one another
bring us
to a world full of kindness
honesty
everything needed
to be best
of me
of
you.

Soldiers soldier
lovers love
Peace, tranquillity
come to those that soldier on
with love
Make me not
one
that believes
not in love
Make me a soldier
in that army conquering
hatred, prejudice
giving only
unconditional love.

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.
