Embrace

Where has it gone The certainty The feeling of concrete feet Planted, holding steadfast Against the passage of time Unwavering in our belief That we could never be pulled apart Sheltered from winds of change After years of pushing on we turn to find The ways we've grown The skin we've shed The distance we've created The strain of aging promises As they stretch to contain us Sever every rotting branch Die off to be born again Carve out poison from every wound Can we start again I'm holding on to hope that we Can find the beauty between us Seeking comfort Fearing what lies beyond Digging down to find the truth Buried deep beneath the surface Digging deep to find the truth inside
