Don Conoscenti

your walls were scaled and the fortress flung open.
your shackles and chains, they have all been broken.
you walk through my door ... wounded from war
wondering how you'll survive.
in your eyes i see ... the prisoner set free.
eyes green as kansas in springtime.

an autumn breeze descends on the forest.
the sun's retreat leaves the stars victorious.
there's a moon in the trees. thick blanket of leaves.
a good night to sleep in the open.
it's peacetime again ... you're here among friends.
only the truth will be spoken.
