Longing And Losing

I must be our ruin

I must dead iron

Don't short-sight it's worth

It comes to steal mine

It comes as it always has

and in keeping me hid

there must be

peace in the morning,

peace in the night.

peace in the daylight,

let it out stand forever

does it outstand so plight

may it wash all us over

and its back-breaking crime

let it cast me far forward,

'til the end of my life.

there must

be peace when eyes are open

peace her eyes to find

let us rest till it's over

let us soak up the healing

tonight
