Mother And Child – Part 2

Khalid Mukhtar · June 16, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Will you be the very one
Who will turn away from me
When the resurrection’s done,
Is that just the way we’ll be?

Will we both await our turns
On the plains of reckoning
While the temperature, it burns
All delusion that we bring?

Will the passing of that grief
Both our memories renew?
Will I savor the relief
At the fountain next to you?

All of thirst quenched at the hands
Of the one we longed to meet,
Will I recognize the lands
That you tread beneath your feet

As the peace I once had known
Back when you and I were one
Fore the swell of time had grown
Neath the blaze of newborn sun?
