From Yesterday

Try on
For trying
Cry on
For crying
Die on
For dying
Fear not to fear

Hunger’s deep
Burning
Awake but
Still yearning
Stones left
O’re turning
Hold to what’s dear

Heaven’s dew
Falling
Faint whispers
Calling
From the ground
Crawling
Be still to hear

Songs sung
Of ages
Break forth
From cages
Pages on pages
All becomes clear

Stand tall
For standing
All things
Demanding
Grasp
Understanding
Dawn’s light is near

Branches
Once traded
Come home
Elated
For the day
Long awaited
Soon shall appear
