Piers Faccini
Two Grains Of Sand
He was the rock of oldCarved and facedLand of the crossDrawn and tracedShe of silk and laceSoft as nightA crescent moonBathed in lightWho would dare tear them apart?Who would try to halve this heart?How can we standTo hold up a manTo choose in his handBetween two grains of sandHow can we turnTo violence and burnForgot all we've learnedTo darkness returnIt's been told beforeI'll tell it againHow jealousy struckLetras de cancionesAnd hate did gainTo plunder onceOnce and for allThis cherished pearlTill sorrow fallsThey stole in and crept like thievesA murder buried under autumn leavesToo pure to shineIn this world of sighsOf butchers and crimesOf laws and liesBut something of their love will remainIn the frozen drops of winter's rainThey're above us, there is no doubtThere is a light that won't go out
