Ashes

Someone said there are years that make us

And there are years that break us

There are years that ask questions

And there are years that answer

——

Maybe we are still waiting

Breathing

Hoping

——

I’m simply listening

Listen

To the sound your heart makes

When it is happy

When it is at peace

To the sound your thoughts make

The rooms they paint you

When you are at peace

——

The water looks troubled

But all the dark things

Move in it’s deep

We all have those waters

And if the earth can calm itself

So can I

So must I

So shall I

——
