I know-
There comes a time
When you’ve long past
That line to say- goodbye
To someone who left you
Alone in a cold dark silence
Uncaring- if you hurt
As your soul bled out- doubt
And your souring words
Have stayed a bit too long
Helplessly clinging onto
Your apprehensive tongue
While the lump in your throat
Is afraid it will choke and die
On the tears you know you’ll cry
Oh, why does it get so hard
To breathe in moments like this
As pictures of what might have been
Race through your mind- unwinding
As you let your hope slip- away
Like the taste you never had
Of their lips or sight of their eyes
That place where loves fire died
As you turn and walk away
Wounded deeply by a cause
That time said never was
Nor can be love when…left undone

Ascribe
Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
