MY BROTHER'S KEEPER

I met you in the alley way,  your hood pulled low. 

I’m a different kind of cat.... my coat of rainbow hue.

I am of the sunlight... my body indigo.

I am keeper of the single flame,  the one who sent for you.

You told me all your secrets... so now I know.

You’re the painter of empty skies, a seer lost at sea.

You sit within your silence, in your isolation hole.

I am not the keeper of your prison. I hold the slender key.

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Black sheep, Black sheep.... three bags full.

There’s a love that pours in deeper.

Am I my brother’s keeper?

I saw you in the darkness.... I cooled your fevered brow. 

We drank the Merlot of our Saviour, offered free & clear,

My brother of the lonely... the never never now.

I am keeper of our solemn promise, & fear, I have no fear....
