Do you remember when I said youâd never feel the sting of death?
But now Iâm waiting where you left, beside that snow-kissed clearing.
I pressed a seed through that frozen fleece, the earth embraced you in the ground.
No invention of my mind will ever compose a melody so profound.
Iâm a priest afraid to pray, terrified at what the silence couldnât say - tongue tethered to the skeptic beating in my chest
Weâre no longer quite ourselves nor reflections of someone else.
Lover, do you feel that tension as we drift between silence and eternity?
Death is the roadâ¦road to awe. I stood atop the world, itâs asymmetry laid bare in front of me:
Thanatophobic societies taking life to mourn their tragedies
I feared this world would never change, but you steady your resolve anyway.
Letâs set the pen against the sword. How orphans long for peace before they learn to love the war!
Perhaps itâs our language, perhaps we are incomplete.
Words like shadows to what we see: Faint flickerings across the cavern in our minds.
Candles in the dark, defiant to the night
âYou pulled me through timeâ, through the edgeless night.
I learned to love as you learned to die.
Iâll begin to feel again and finish the chapter you couldnât write
Candles in the dark, defiant to the night - defiant to the shadow.
You pull me through time, through the edgeless night. I learned to love as you learned to die.
