Holding Embers


Fire-eyed and fearless

The heart is of a lion

Even bathed in shadow

It's power is eternal


The bravest warrior

The leader of the pack

The gallanttry is unwavered

The unstoppable in essence


Though the Heavens may fall

And Hell may break on Earth

The light will never dim

The hope will never fade


Around it dark will fall

Gusts will steal heat

And spirit is the answer,

The fire in the hearth


The sound of life is loud

Breath past lip rings free

The tree stands strong and tall

It's roots are buried deep


Despite the clouding mist

Lives connect in clear

Their link will never break

Even tested by time


A challenge to the gods

That grace be unto man

Many storms will come

And angels will descend


If by chance the cry is met

of a child who's in need

A she stranger in the gale

Will become the sigil hope


A shower of fire rains down

Lighting up the world

Ignited by the righteous

and extinguished by the low


Lively eyes light up

When quiet names are called

Arms are open for embrace

But fragile wings are torn


The forever crumbling path

Leads us to the end

We'll be left out in the cold

Our only hope each other


Evening passes by

Leaving silence in it's wake

All the world's asleep

Persevere the night
