Smaointe

Standing on the shore
Watching you fade into endless oceans
Your hand raised in a silent farewell
Tears from your eyes
As there are from my own.
Elvish voices sing for you
A haunting song that sends you
Away
And keeps me here.
Each wave takes you
Further from me
And I cannot understand.
I would keep you here forever
Happy, without pain
Just as you should be.
I would keep you safe
And protect you
From all that haunted your soul.
Cannot even love destroy your demons?
Not even the pain of my tears and the
Ache in my heart
Can keep you here.
As you disappear into Elvish song
All life seems to fade
Yet a smile remains still on your face
Telling me to remember you as you always were.
You shall remain
As a presence of voices and a
Light resonating.
A Ring could not separate us
And neither shall the sea.
