Covenant Between Beings

They are still not here. They are not amongst us. You and I are here, And now alone, it is only us. We shall make a covenant, A covenant between beings, between our own. We shall make a covenant, Between beings, we alone. An offering to one another we shall bring. Good at giving others, Good at bearing bargain. We shall keep one another as brothers, And speak the truth, amen. But before I accept the tribute, And because our time is but borrowed, I bring a tribute for the covenant, With all my selves of tomorrow.
