From The Ashes

Through the chaos of her life
All the struggles and the strife
She’s risen up from the ash
Though pale and weak from the crash
The flames still licking at her feet
Despite her fear there’s no retreat
She must go on, she can’t sit still
Lest the fire consume her will
Strength is hers, she must hold it tight
So it may bring her to the light

Changing

She watches close with trepidation
The image changing – her fixation
The face before her now distorted
By the world – twisted and contorted
Games were played, now she pays the price
Walls crashing down like shards of ice
Her house of cards was nearly complete
Now they lay in piles at her feet
Will she have the strength to build again?
And how will she know where to begin?

Fallen

We were once so innocent
But our fall was imminent
From grace we have descended
Into lives unintended
Here we’ll find so much more
As we seek to explore
All the things once forbidden
We are free to envision
So take my hand, do not fear
Let me wipe away that tear
Lie with me beneath the stars
And see the world is now ours
