Seeking form-holding peace like there gift it is


Fading in the glitter of still image on water


Parental midst of hope in love trashed


Candle burns bright on sill at midnight


Rails rattle as fate takes toil given


Father and mother pray caused


Late night sheets hold hope


Pillow neatly place firm


Window curtains blow


Open face of dream


Prayers said look


Day comes slow


Candle gone


Freedom


Won


Cry


So


I



I


So


Cry


Won


Freedom


Candle gone


Day comes slow


Prayers staid look


Open face of dream


Window curtains blow


Pillow neatly place firm


Late night sheets hold hope


Father and mother pray caused


Rails rattle as fate takes toil given


Candle burns bright on sill at midnight


Parental midst of hope in love trashed


Fading in the glitter of still image on water


Seeking form-holding peace like there gift it is



Is it gift there like peace holding form seeking


Water on image still of glitter the in fading


Trashed love in hope of midst parental


Midnight at sill on bright burns candle


Given toil takes fate as rattle rails


Caused pray mother and father


Hope holds sheets night late


Firm place neatly pillow


Blow curtains window


Dream of face open


Look said prayers


Slow comes day


Gone candle


Freedom


Won


Cry


I


I


Cry


Won


Freedom


Gone candle


Slow comes day


Look said prayers


Dream of face open


Blow curtains window


Firm place neatly pillow


Hope holds sheets late night


Caused pray mother and father


Given toil takes fate as rattle rails


Midnight at sill on bright burns candle


Trashed love in hope of midst parental


Water on image still of glitter the in fading


Is it gift there like peace holding form seeking
