Side by side

Pain
and sadness
hurt and angry eyes  
a rift in heaven
a storm of claws and talons
destroying the skies  
leaving shredded tatters of love
confetti of our souls  

anger
and bitterness
the poison weed of pain  
growing into anger  
and anger blossoming into pain  
to kill this hateful thing
I rip my ribs apart
tearing hatred from my heart
 
numb    
deadened and bruised
blindly we seek our souls    
in aftermath of storm
and the serenity of non existence
yet through the numbness  
something germinates and grows
a small flicking flame within our souls
 
rebirth    
exhausted  
we feed the remains of love
to the flame within our soul  
and amazed we find something lost  
awed we watch love grow
the flame with in our hearts
now guide us
as long as we walk our path  
side by side
