Elegy for a Waning Alliance
The uncertainty of a moment
Can brake us or we can bend
Would it be any easier for us
If we knew how the story ends
Is it better to hold fast to the days
And through our fingers slowly let them pass
Or should we rush headlong to the conclusion
However much it may seem wrong and crass
To exit this world with heart and soul intact
Is something few can hope to achieve
But some are lucky, hold their heads high
As with grace and self-possession they leave
Whether you believe the soul is eternal
Or a useless flight of fancy in some people's minds
It is in the company of some true soul you'll seek peace
And it is there you hope peace you will find
The conclusion of this journey draws closer
With each and every passing day
The weak and the weaker will both falter
As they stumble along their way
If nothing else is to be gotten by the pain
May this be the message our story sends:
Even the roughest road in life is made smoother
When navigated with a friend
