Sighs

Your reflection sulks behind your shadow .
The years of the past hold you at arms length .
The passage of time narrows In the forge of embers.
The sighs  echo of the hours hear after .

Is this the life you have sought.
On the fringes of love .
Lost in all the tears.
Who calls you so far away yet to hold you so unkind.

The emptiness enshrines you .
Inducted into the halls of pain .
What hears what you shout so hallow .
Too lay you down in a pine box.

One by one they take you .
By the other your cast aside.
What waits inside a warm blanket .
In your mothers arms you still cry.

Blessed be the path of forgiveness.
May the righteous fall as one .
Lay out the soul as if it was a offering .
And in everyone's name thou shall be done .
