Ashes

Ashes for the hearts we carry
with stitches and scars
found mended or blown apart
and if Love is set on burning
these ashes are just the start

Ashes for the broken people
which wisdom finds so sweet
both in victory and defeat
and if Truth is set on purging
these ashes are just the start

Ashes for the love we bury
when you try and try again
inching towards a new end
and if Hope is set on working
these ashes are just the start.
