A Certain Faith

it does not yet appear

what we shall be

but there is yet time still

to reclaim what we have lost

and wake in the light between us

rise above the darkness

forgive what is past

so we may join

together again

in the creation

of the world

reflect for those

who are not us

what we are now become

reach beyond ourselves

unfold

and released from the spell

of what no longer marks the way

step with an unbending will

from our sacred rooms

into a new day

one in purpose

each to our part

diligent before the void

wondering what folly

madness or weariness of living

made us once hope

to be remembered

for what we have done

or for whom we have seen
