Things Hoped For - Not Yet Seen

I walk alone by the sea on the red planet.  
This is the only known place of true freedom.
The pain in your heart grips me and tears away at my dreams.
Sheltering my heart from your pain seems impossible.

My dreams fall through my hands like sand.
The people I’ve loved and the promises I’ve hoped for.
I see them sliding away.
They are falling out of my realm.  
I can’t hold them back.
I need to drag myself away from them kicking and screaming.
The season with them in this life is done.
Maybe in another life time when we are well things could be different.

Where is my faith in this time of trouble?
Where is my hope in all that I have hoped for, but not yet seen?
Who is my greatest enemy?
It’s not the wind.
Who is my enemy?
It’s nothing that falls from the sky.
It’s me.
