In light, we waited for the light to fade
And leave us in the emptiness of thought.
In dark, we sat alone and softly prayed
For light to come and save us from the wrought-
metal fate we find printed in the sky.
We watch for life to take us in its hold,
Left shaking in the silence of this cry,
This plead to be protected from the cold.
And in this isolation, what we saw
Did surely break us into un-searched parts
That were scattered as seeds into the thaw
That never seemed to touch our frozen hearts.
So in quiet, could I ask you to be
The one that will stay, stay close beside me?
