When that great curtain descends upon us
\nWhen our eyes close and are gone
\nWhen the heart that beats each second
\nHas ceased and we upon
\nThis life time are transcended
\nTo another place where we
\nShall rest to test at best the zest
\nOf our own infinity<\/p>\n
What of the mind what of the love
\nThat we have left behind
\nHer eyes you shared and perhaps dared
\nTo love – where to unwind
\nLost in the tomb of Mother Earth
\nAlone perhaps to cry
\nThe sorrows you had saved
\nFor this period that you lie<\/p>\n
Alone moved just by history
\nAn ancestor possibly
\nTo dream away the aeons
\nWhere you may never see
\nHer, she had captured, your heart
\nShe was your very soul
\nAnd now you have been parted
\nYou lost that leading role<\/p>\n
Will she ever think of you
\nIn places which you shared
\nIn the garden and at roll rights
\nAt moonstone where you cared
\nDeath came with his sickle
\nAnd carted you away
\nAnd The Gade will keep on flowing
\nPassed her window every day<\/p>\n
The rosemary will blossom
\nIt’s violet kisses will
\nLook up to the cherry blossom
\nWhose fragrance it will spill
\nShe may breathe it’s wonderment
\nAnd remember you perhaps
\nLying in your earthly tomb
\nIn the stillness that entraps<\/p>\n
All spirits that have departed
\nAnd entered her domain
\nWill she cast a single thought
\nAnd share it with the rain
\nI cannot bear the moment
\nWhen my eyes close for I know
\nThey never will re open
\nWhen then will I go<\/p>\n
To number too possibly see her cottage
\nI do not want to be
\nUnable, to wait for her
\nAnd unable to see
\nEach moment that I thought of her
\nBrought such joy to my soul
\nTo wait for her was lovely
\nAnd now I have lost that role
\nI lay here in the darkness
\nUnseeing, my thoughts gone
\nMy soul will always be close to her
\nFor she of course walks on<\/p>\n
To greater things I am certain
\nWhilst I rot here and be
\nSupper to the creatures who come
\nNow to share me
\nAnd emerge into the sunshine
\nMore revitalised
\nAnd may fly close to her cottage
\nWhere I am now re sized<\/p>\n
Able to still see her
\nA fly upon the wall
\nI know she will never harm me
\nFor that was her basic rule
\nTo love the goddesses creatures
\nAnd I still have that role
\nLying here lost to the world
\nNow where be my soul?<\/p>\n
Invisible to her eyes
\nBut each Samhain maybe she
\nWill feel my presence close to her
\nWhere I need to be
\nThrough the violet mists of time
\nI wait, I hope, I do
\nWait for her I shall wait for her
\nAnd remain forever
\ntrue<\/p>\n
She admitted she had never come
\nShe would never wait for me
\nI realised that it was unrequieted love
\nAnd it would be
\nThat of course for ever
\nI knew that of course, I
\nKnew that but forever in this dark sod
\nI would lie<\/p>\n
And I never will forget her
\nThose eyes, that sable hair
\nI never will forget her
\nI always will be there
\nProtecting her
\nAnd supporting her
\nAnd loving her, For I
\nNever ever will forget her<\/p>\n
And now unseen I cry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
