Once I walked a barren land,
Around which glimmered light and life.
In my land, solitary I was,
As I waded silently through strife.
To help there was not a single hand,
To pierce perpetually, countless swords.
To see me they simply used their eyes,
To feel, their hearts were cold as ice.
But then I saw her,
Through her own vast expanse of desert.
I rested on her shoulders as she sank slow,
Through shifting sands, she carried me through woe.
Today I walk with her hand entangled in mine,
And step together into happier times.
