So let me bid you one
last fond farewell...

A swift intake of air,
Then draws the willing blade...

Full of fun you filled our lives
And those around with love and joy...

I sit within this cold and crowded place
and wonder how it came to be...

Swirls and whorls of paths
my fingers trace along the well...

An ember,
Kindled gently...

Between the darkness and the light
when restless thoughts run through your head...

Sinking in this self made mire
of vaporous dreams...

Tucked beyond the back,
Unacknowledged and forgot...

Too often life demands
we be broken...

Beneath our feet her heart's core pulses,
shaping time itself around each tiny beat of life...

In depth of night, when shadows beckon souls
to risk their all with tendril wisps of mist...
