no more fire

my heart breaks as i think of you.
no longer fire in the crowds
no longer light in the streets

i nearly cry as i realize
i may never see your light again
i nearly cry as my heart breaks in two
i may never feel your comfort once again

my heart breaks as i think of you
no longer fire in the crowds
no longer light in the streets

lonely in the dark
my strength fades away
alone in the cold
my light fades to gray

my heart breaks as i think of you
no longer fire in the crowds
no longer light in the streets

i hear a hushed whisper
i feel a slight warmth
i listen a little closer
there YOU are

my heart breaks as I think of you
no longer fire in the crowds
no longer light in the streets

calling out in the darkness
straining to hear not realizing
only beautiful stillness is
required

my heart is healing
still in peices
soon there will be light again

from broken pieces to
a melded sculpture
i learn to hear the voice
in the hushed whisper


my heart is healing
still in pieces
soon there will be light again
