We are held.
in wombs.. in arms.
in love.. in hope.
in dawn.. in beginnings.
We are seen.
in faces.. in eyes.
in shadows.. in light.
in faith.. in doubt.
We are changed.
in time.. in trials.
in choices.. in chances.
in loss.. in becoming.
We are found.
in memory.. in grief.
in stories.. in songs.
in mercy.. in wonder.
Our whole lives
and at the last horizon
we are carried away
in coffers of ash.”
