The Reaper And The Seed

Among the stones and budding grain

We will remain safe buried deep below

Beneath the wind and the midnight rain

We have planted this connection long ago

But will we reap what we have sown?

I watched the pain spread across your face

Growing like strands of ivy in the sunlight

As the breeze blew softly through your hair

And carried the rest of our love away with it

Among the bones and hidden pain

We will remain safe buried deep below

Beneath the frost and earthen bane

The products of our love will grow

But will we reap what we have sown?

Everything we touch turns to dust

Within the deep layers of this soil

Where our secrets will always be held

The rocks have taken vows of silence

And the tangled roots have none to tell

The dirt will hold our secrets well
