The reaper and the seed

Among the stones and budding grain
We will remain safe buried deep below
Beneath the wind and the midnight rain
We have planted this connection long ago
But will we reap what we have sown?

I watched the pain spread across your face
Growing like strands of ivy in the sunlight
As the breeze blew softly through your hair
And carried the rest of our love away with it

Among the bones and hidden pain
We will remain safe buried deep below
Beneath the frost and earthen bane
The products of our love will grow
But will we reap what we have sown?

Everything we touch turns to dust

Within the deep layers of this soil
Where our secrets will always be held
The rocks have taken vows of silence
And the tangled roots have none to tell
The dirt will hold our secrets well
