One Final Favour

by Neil Marsden   Jan 18, 2008


Cradle me now, allow my dying heart to weep,
Inside your tender caring arms.
Engulf me in your blanket warmth.
Let sadness, crying, fade into the gift of sleep.

Teach me how to cry in dignity and peace.
Shelter me deep within your loving vaults.
Stand firm instead of me.
Caress the furrowed brow.

Touch down the lids of fear.
Kiss comfort kisses.
Taste away the hounds of hate.
Lie me naked, lifeless into waters soft as sunset.

Cast me off upon your breath of adoration.
That I can float away forever,
On such calming swell.

Then fade once more away,
Into the haziness of hope.
And live on into eternity,

Content that you had ever loved.

Neil Graham Marsden.
