Colors of the lost

The sun wrote to us this morning

Letters of unfinished days

She asked if we were burning

And painfully held our gaze

 

In silence and in light 

There is little left withheld

Rays unapologetically bright

As ardent as it felt

 

The question frightened you

Watching our words fade

Colors of the lost – an odd hue

Spoken in holy serenade :

 

Hands of a savior

Eyes the shape of water

Ask if they’ll save her

Ask if they’d bother
