Two Toasts
CARRIE NEWCOMER, PARKER PALMER
Praise be that this thin mark, this sound
Can form the word that takes on flesh
To enter where no flesh can go
To fill each other's emptiness
[Chorus]
To words and how they live between us
To us and how we live between the worth
And in between the sound of words
I hear your silent, sounding soul
Where one abides in solitude
Who keeps us one when speech shall go
[Chorus]
