a silent prayer in the night

Ashes fall like snow flakes.
Burning and melting inside.

I'm routing back to Maryland.
Somehow it's scorching me inside.

Adversity meets,
My limited means.

Guide me toward kindness,
Guide me toward time.

The moon's on its way,
To its waining tonight.

Logs burning slow,
Hide the ashes left behind.

I'm holding on to you,
My fire inside.

The dusk settles in,
Threatening to consume me in time.

I swear I won't give up,
I'm fighting for 3 lives.

I refuse to break this promise,
The few that I've made in this life.

Two lives dependent on mine,
And the man I am inside.

A strong will,
A strong heart.

I swear I won't let go.

Please guide me toward kindness,
Please guide me toward time.
