Charcoal Remains
Devastation burns its way into my soul
How can I rebuild from these ashes my life
Everything’s up in smoke only charcoal remains
How can I survive this intense pain and loss
Where do I go from the depths of despair
My canvas of life lies before me
Charcoal a reminder to sketch a new picture
I work on that sketch and paint in days to come
A life full of color and beauty all around
Letting seeds of hope back in I paint
Wiping away the charcoal no trace of smoke
A paradigm shift from the life of fire and devastation
Charcoal remains but only for sketching
Bright dreams of hope live once more
