Between the Breaths of a Dying World

The sky has opened like a mending seam

Ashes tangled in a sacred dream

Hymns arise

They shatter the still

Echoes of silence climb the hill

Broken bells in the hollow sway

Fragmented prayers like smoke away

Between the breaths where shadows fall

A whisper stirs

The end and all

Between the breaths of a dying world

Flames kiss the night as the stars unfurl

The pulse of time in its fragile tether

We sing the songs that could last forever

Feet on the altar of fragile ground

The earth's heartbeat is the only sound

Every moment feels like a hymn

A tide of hope in the widening brim

The winds rise up like a choir untamed

They sing of endings that can't be named

Hearts beat loud in the quiet decline

Every second feels almost divine

Between the breaths of a dying world

Flames kiss the night as the stars unfurl

The pulse of time in its fragile tether

We sing the songs that could last forever
