White As Snow
Where I came from there were no hills at allThe land was flat, the highway straight and wideMy brother and I, we'd drive for hours, like we'd years instead of daysOur faces as pale as the dirty snowOnce I knew there was a love divineThen came a time I thought it knew me notWho can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not?Only the land as white as snowAnd the water it was icyAs it washed over meAnd the moon shined above meNow this dry ground it bears no fruit at allOnly poppies laugh under a crescent moonThe road refuses strangersThe land, the seeds we sewWhere might we find a land as white as snow?As boys we would go hunting in the woodTo sleep, the night shun out the starsNow the wolves are every passing strangerEvery face we cannot knowFor only a heart could be as white as snowFor only a heart could be as white as snow
