Fading heart

What would you have me to do?

To keep your heart from fading

Die and breathe again?

Come closer and keep away

Fly

Fall

Lit the fire and call the night?

Dress the flowers, trees, and grass?

With this eternal flame

Red, but soothing white

Hold your hand

Drink tenderness by your side?

 

What would you have me to do?

Play music with my soul

Wake dawn?

Nourish your hunger while I starve?

We might…

We might stumble and fall

Be wounded and cry

Be cruel

Sometimes kind

 

We might find each other

As we walk the last mile

 

Our face

Oceans, warmth tide

Our souls, intertwined

 

We might find each other

As we walk the last mile

 

Ghosts and guards

Tears raising the sea level

A mother, waiting for its children to arrive
