out of the eyes seeps a strain of sorrow
denied from within and without
fear binds and tries, yet it remains
faint quieted nigh stilled
stand close, stand close,
so close the sorrow braves the light
filling your ears
reaching into your heart
drawing from under the shroud
stay, stay near, listening and anon
a garment in white is woven
threads of strength, creativity, and courage
betwixt you two binding all
the worst now retreats to it's place in our past
unspeakable to come begins now
Love is carried in the breath
When the breath fails, love in silence waits
Love while breath remains
