"Flickering Hope"
Written by: Red Lady

Just a walk in the woods so plain
Under the sky which was always the same
Just a stroll cross the river last night...
My mind I sought to tame.

A memorable wind swept across my face
The mist and fog embraced me.
I closed my eyes to my watered eyes...
Through my tears, I could barely see.

The depth of my heart was freed from its cell,
I sat on the earth and cried.
Where was my angel to just stroke my arm,
My chest heaved as I sighed.

No name for her beauty; her depth was complete
When I saw her, all else faded away.
Although not in body, my heart starts to race...
"Is her love still with me, to stay?"

She's with the ones who threw me out...
Confusion wracks my heart.
I was torn from her with merciless blindness...
My sanity had been torn apart.

I sat in the cold, dark grass last night
Away from the rest of them all...
Thinking of you and the warmth you had brought...
I thought I heard you call.

Each Sunday and each Wednesday night
I make my way to solitude...
...To think of you...just a walk in the shadows
As I hope our love is still true.
