Hope

I want you to remember it won’t always be like this
There is something else, another place
This life of lies sprouting slander
Reaping loss and decay
But we are not of this place

We travel through the loving and dying
Broken and bloodied
He made the way
Above the horizon
Flying as it all melts away
We see the first sun on the first day

The Race

A trapped animal in a cage
Driven rabid by what it can’t catch

I gnawed on the bone till I broke my teeth
Empty, burnt and tasteless

There is an empty meadow
A reason to live and love and remember

I see the beauty in your face
Of letting go of the chase
