Do you remember?

Do you remember the plains my love?
Do you remember the rains my love?

You are amongst the waters now,
In a land of plenty, and more.
There is water all around,
The weather’s nice and gay.
The Sun shines, but just enough,
To leave a tinge of red,
In an otherwise perfect blue of skies.
The air is not that cold, or hot,
The breeze lulls you to sleep.
The birds sing, and wake you from sleep,
There’s plenty to eat, and drink!

I, am in the mountains my love,
Cold, dark and stark.
There’s no sun in the skies,
It’s all gray, and damp!
There’s food, and water,
But all’s frozen!
No birds, no dogs, no cats either,
But plenty of men around.
My men, my people!

I know I chose this, my love,
The time in the mountains.
I know the times, are hard for you.
I know the food’s raw,
The drink sour, the birds hoarse!
I know you are in pain, the head hurts!
The oceans are salty,
The island a prison!

I know this.

Do you remember, though, the plains my love?
Do you remember the rains my love?

I remember the mornings in your arms,
The long walks, the fine breakfast!
I remember the day in toil,
In hunger, and fire. Fire. Yes.
The fire that consumed us,
Forged us into one.
Yes, the fire. Yes, that fire!
I remember the restless evenings,
The walks in the night.
You’d hold my hands, and talk and laugh!
I’d hold yours, and smile, and see.
I saw you, my angel, my hope!
I walked with you, and forgot the world.

Do you remember the plains my love?
Do you remember the rains my love?

Time flows, it does my love!
The only dimension worth any effort.
Do you remember the plains my love?
The walks, the laughs, the frights, the smiles?
Do you remember the rains my love?
I see dimensions, the people and all.
They’re all here, around, across.
They see me I see them.
I see me, me sees I.
Do you see the future my love?
The laughs, the walks, the frights, the smiles?
Do you see the rains my love?
The curtains of water, the rivers of light?
Do you feel my touch my love?
My hands in yours, your lips on mine?

Do you remember the rains my love?
Do you remember the plains my love?
