Live On

I feel you in every deafening pause I taste your sorrows on my open tongue Your anxious pulse on my fingertips I want to warm your hesitant hands I want to reassure your quivering lips Trace your trust into my hope's light Till you are mighty and whole Your sinking eyes heavy my heart's load I think of all that you have endured I inwardly moan, I bleed profusely The tears enrapture my soul I want to take all your pain away In one pristine sweep I implore peace to rain once more With all her notes resounding Harmonious and true Strange and narrow The paths to her melody await I see you in each descending sunset The next more somber than the last I know your rage and your want Your desperation in your cold smile I wish to bring you the sun once more To give you the faith to love To give you the strength one needs To live on Galatians 6:2 – “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
