Silent Sentinels by vkritis published on 2024-04-30T13:53:35Z (Verse 1) Houses stand in silent rows, windows sealed so tight A feeling creeps within me, eyes watch in the night I lift my gaze, searching for the storks' lively nest A family thrives, a joyous, vibrant guest (Chorus) Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall The joy of life against the houses cold and bare Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share (Verse 2) Empty spaces echo where life once used to be The storks' delight, a stark reality How can we explain this yearning in our soul? To face the void, and make our spirits whole (Bridge) Perhaps it's hope that keeps us fixed on what's unseen A promise whispered, a future yet to glean (Chorus) Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall The joy of life against the houses cold and bare Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share Genre Pop
