TOGETHER

We are but clamoring echoes from a half-empty glass,

Stifled with fear I scream - yet silent,

A headstone looms in the distance,

Together we are heard, Together we relent.

Oh precious tears why do you evade me?

Like the burning embers of an unquenchable flame - I am insatiable,

Brimmed with anguish, alone I suffer,

Together we cry, Together we survive.

In desperation I turn to Him,

His promise - the glass will fill, the tears will flow,

The fire will burn and the fear will fade,

Together we hope, Together we pray.
