This Land Of Mystery And Guile

In this land of mystery and guile

Where trouble and heartache seem to just renew

There I step- my feet in sinking sand-

And tell myself this involvement I'll not rue.



Trust and love have brought me to this pass

As I try to discover the buried truth-

Buried- but not forgotten, I hope

As the naughty misdemeanours of one's youth.



Too long  I've endured the silences

Marring otherwise golden, happy life phase.

If my Love can't divulge the problems

We'll not reach promised Eden to end our days.



So, I do my best, try to find out truth

That cannot be so awful when it's exposed

As when it lies heavily hidden

In the prison that my own dear Love's imposed.



In this land of mystery and guile

Where trouble and heartache seem to just renew

There I step- my feet in sinking sand-

And tell myself this involvement I'll not rue.
