I Remember

(album: The Raging River - 2021)

With your smile you bent light
Built a wall you hid behind
Branches woven to cover the other side

The silence was deceiving
It was the eye of the storm
Rolling thunder ripped your heart out
The lighting struck in another form

It kept striking
Until you fell down the gorge
You kept falling as the bolt
Dug deeper into your sores

Days turned to nights turned to years
From the echoes there is no escape
Isolation with no end
It was you but you altered shape

Now you have taken your place
You are one of the eternals
You left us with a smile
When you rolled out in the night

Now you have taken your place
You are one of the eternals
You left us with a smile
When you rolled out in the night

Staring into the dark
In the dark it all amplifies
One star shines brighter
It will never die
