Song of Sorrow

2009

I looked upon the vastness of the sea

But all the years of wanderlust had fled

The breaking waves recalled to memory

The day I cast the ashes of my dead.

Across the pale blue waters sailed my dreams

Of youth, of hope and possibility,

The tears no longer rivulets but streams.

There were years of an undying unity

As two souls journeying through love once found

The spirit's contemplative higher ground

And felt as one the coming world to be.
