Settled Ground - Rescuer

With time comes the comfort

With age the understanding

That everything and everyone I love

Will find its way away from me

Someday

I’ll be left with my own emptiness

My own solitude to face

Look into the void and dig out

A way to endure the insincerity of half hearted pleas

That swear it’s only to save me

To find solace in the clouds

Or embrace what’s left of the settled ground

Grit my teeth, close my eyes and breathe deep

I can almost hear them say

«He's where he wants to be.»

Reach down and grab his hand

If I could just hear his laugh again
