Acceptance?

The silence roars at 4:30 on a Saturday morning
To a childless father
A wifeless husband
A friendless friend
Its too hot, open a window and let the snow in
Read the words from the dead child's hand
(Winter fences at the edge of the world)

Think, think, think of a way to fill the empty day
To make it count
To respect memories
To shout to the world
These were good people, they were loved fiercely
Why does the world keep turning, whats left?
(Their names float from the sky and settle)

Sun, ignite the world, turn the snow into ashes
Let us rest our dreams
Mourn our loss
Accept our fate
Remember every softly-spoken "I love you"
Live this and every day in hope that we'll join them soon
(Tall grass and tiny flowers begin to grow)
