SILHOUETTES

Silhouettes of lovers cast

Transcending walls, blending my past

Your shadows dance, enhance surreal

And yet conceal, my soul to steal

But today I spent away on the lake with a friend

We searched our lives across the lake from end to each end

What I found across those waves now will set me free

Of silhouettes and long lost bets, an aging effigy

Mourning breaks, the light then mends

By smashing walls that fence me in

As silhouettes shrink from my view

I dance my dance long overdue

Oh yes, that day I spent away on the lake with a friend

We searched our lives across the lake from end to each end

What I found across those waves now has set me free

Of silhouettes and long lost bets, a dying effigy

Silhouettes of lovers past

Now have no walls on which to cast

Their shadows dance, to no avail

Nothing concealed, my soul is healed

I toast the way I spent that day on the lake with a friend

We searched our lives across the lake from end to each end

What I found across those waves has forever set me free

Oh, silhouettes and long lost bets, I raise my glass to thee
