Nomads

Please don’t let those
Please don’t let those boys fight
You would let no other
Hold my arm as we walked on
You would let no other
Tease my sight, dear brother
We must bear this winter
Won’t survive alone
My blindness is their burden
And they want to cut me loose
You cannot bear to tell me
You just hold me in your arms
They whispered as they left me
Thought I was asleep
Brother, you thought I was asleep
I became the weather
Cold and dark, unrelenting
I refined four senses, strong and stark
Always searching for you
You, you
I found you after sunrise
And they all tried to fight
Their bodies lay beneath me
And still I wasn’t done
I know why you left me
Brother, I will do the same
Your people are with me now
And we whisper as you sleep
Brother, we leave you here to sleep
Please don’t let those
Please don’t let those boys fight
