Dedication: To all who have loved and lost, with the hope of being united again one day.
I hold you close to my chest and cry,
Bitter sweet my tears,
My voice still raw from shouting why,
Biting back my fears.
Your gentle hand does touch my arm,
I close my eyes and smile,
Looking into your face so calm,
I face my hardest trial.
You smile at me with such a strength,
I lean into your warmth,
I try to ignore the strange pretence,
As I look toward the shore.
I hear your words and gentle laugh,
I know the time has come,
You guided me to my chosen path,
And now we watch the setting sun.
I feel the waves beneath my feet,
The boat does rock and sway,
I turn to talk to you again,
But you have gone away.
I hold the small pot out to sea,
And pray a final prayer,
That we'll be united again one day,
Then I release your ashes to the air.
