From the shattering came the still
It was a peace of sorts,
That dew caressed morning,
Songs of dawn chorus trill.
This world will turn without you,
The wind won't breathe your loss.
The silence will speak in volumes
Of dusty shelves that time forgot.
First we must remember,
And then we shall regret,
Crawling back toward the shadows
Beg the darkness, let us forget.
And so we never learn,
Sat at tables forever turning
Burning hunger never ends.

From the shattering came the still
It was a peace of sorts,
That dew caressed morning,
Songs of dawn chorus trill.
This world will turn without you,
The wind won't breathe your loss.
The silence will speak in volumes
Of dusty shelves that time forgot.
First we must remember,
And then we shall regret,
Crawling back toward the shadows
Beg the darkness, let us forget.
And so we never learn,
Sat at tables forever turning
Burning hunger never ends.
