Iron and Velvet

 

To believe in green and blue

And the yellow of the sun

Is to believe in you.

 

To know there is warmth

In the chill of a wind

Is to know there is you.

 

To hear the purr of a cat

And the song of a breeze,

To touch the cool of a leaf

And the silk of a flower,

To know the thrill of the wind

And the rhythm of the rain

 

Is the trust of a love

Made of iron

And velvet.
