As It Was Written

I write this for screams that rest in some
and serenity that cheers others…
I write this as we appear as one
and sink alone
beneath a chosen fear
A favoured melody can been heard
but another torn asunder, 
I write this as days decline a night
or a welcome dawn steps aside
I say this for you to know
that the faceless strike a rising chord
I side with those who try
and
bury their grief with rested saints
I ride this weathered swell to fall
for grace to know a tear,
I sow and reap with those
to whom 
we do this unwanted life
bequeath

Life is a challenge for all. And then, no matter how well planned "If not for the Grace of God...". This is very well written work! Really got me thinking.
