sitting on a stone wall city bench
resting weary, worn and dusty sandals
and their weary, worn and dusty souls,
remembering younger days and former ways,
tales of rescues and romances,
questions asked and answers taught
in lonely written letters and in crowded spoken speeches,
across the miles and miles and miles of journeys,
from one village to the next,
the two old men did wander,
so far apart,
here and there, and everywhere,
until their final destination.
in heated disagreement, they waged the great debate,
these two old men, grey and weathered,
resolute in their deep conviction,
old ways revered, new ways respected,
back and forth in sincerest soul reflection,
until now, in these days of full and final consecration,
they laugh, they cry, they catch up the news before they die.
these two old men, grey and weathered,
sitting on a stone wall city bench,
to pause before the coming end,
to share once more their mutual friend,
who on this mission,
he did send,
to run the race,
to reach their victory of grace,
in this grey and weathered holy place,
two old men and their dusty sandals,
two old men and their dusty sandals.
