Those Lost

I wandered alone
Amongst the souls
Lost now and still
Each one an echo
Of life and longing
Passion of being
Now disconnected
One a child
Feelings of sorrow
Forelorn beyond
Simple comprehension
A life ended
A family broken
And a soul alone
The tears of the dead
Fall among us
Granting a little
If only to see
A little more

The Promise

I promise to love you
While you are here
I promise to find
The grace between
You and me
To close the distance
And amplify our energy
Mutual reserviors,
Seen, opened, and touched
I promise to love you
While you are here
To reason with fate
And grasp wisdom's domain
With our many hands
We pry at the gates
Of perfection
While you are here

This Flesh

I am this flesh
This hair; these limbs
This skin; what wrapped within
These nerves; these thoughts
I am this flesh
Built upon each trying test
Made by more to diminish less
From my beginning
To my dying breath
I am this flesh
