For love of friends

They could not and would not-
Understand the love we have
Free of burden -
It must be wrong -
They so proclaimed
A love so strong ----
Would burn to nothing

Love is soul,
Love is mind
Love is heart
And love -
Is ours - a circle - a friendship

Simple and true
Talk what you may
I know what you say -
And it's OK -
I know you don't understand
But that's why we take a stand -

Pigeon hole us, as you would-
We love being renegades
Living life unafraid
Life is not black and white
Life - living - is found in between
Those seemingly unexpected seams

I know you don't understand
But that's why we take our stand -
So welcome to the Rupununi -
Here - take my hand
Let me show you unburdened love.
