Burgundy

For every setting
A new forgetting
To choose forgiveness
To rid the sickness

In saints or trials
Trust is denial
Be hopeful of rest
Within each new test

Some silence is forever lost
No matter what the pain or cost
Tree bark engraved with solemn pleas
The dying drop their leaves of burgundy and rust

Beware the scorched earth
Memories of mirth
In sight of blessings
The beaten path brings

Serpentine sinew
Walkways winding through
My forest of coal
My failure to uphold

Some silence is forever lost
No matter what the pain or cost
Tree bark engraved with solemn pleas
The dying drop their leaves of burgundy and rust
