HOLDING ON

fires lit on lawns,
beloved
across the world hearts beat
in unison chant
rise rise rise from thy bed
look up again to sunrise
when I look up to my sunsets
cast off your garb of pain
listen listen o God
wherefore art thou
blue skies shared
air breathed of my lungs
are yours too
Isn't it
burnt heart shattered
grabbing on the strings
of hope floated from tears
didn't you promise
please
I'm holding on
Holding
...and You
must too.
