Say not that we

are past all chance

of reunion.

Say only,

Only,

that we are parted

For a time,

a little time,

and as we wait,

We Burn the Past.

-

Let it be,

somehow,

that we may reach

far off in the distance

The Shining City

of Hallowed Voices

that whisper

"You have found

The Kingdom of Heaven"

-

Let us swear,

now before our God,

that not all is in vain.

That we may

Burn our Past,

and seek to live,

in that Shining City.

Let the Ashes

of The Past

enrich this hollowed ground,

and from the Sand,

beget a Feast For All Nations.
