Black and Gold

Walked by
and smelt a
Black and Gold

remembered
just what I'd been
told

you didn't love me
now or then

you wouldn't
be my friend

a decade or so goes by
when you see me
you can't match my eyes

it's all the same now
as then

your will I couldn't bend

don't you know my love?
it sends the sea
the vastest space between
you and me

it drowns and yet rises again


I will always be your friend

I will always be your friend

I will always be your friend




Walked by and smelt
a Black and Tan

remembered just
who I am

resplendent in my
truth and grace

I cannot be erased





Black and Gold
