Partings On The Sea Of Sorrow

Come, my child,
allow me to cradle you
upon the Sea of Sorrow
where we shall forget
about today until it is tomorrow.
Come, my child,
and we shall watch one last time
the flight of the eagles and the ravens
before my ship sets sail
to find the Safe Haven:

Wake up mother from this bad winter dream...

Will you not hold me?
Will you not?
Will you die in your sleep tonight?
Will I not see you again?
Will you not cry or laugh?
Will you not sing or dance?
Will you not write or read?
Will you not mother feel me again?
Will you not love me again?
Will you not touch me again?
Will you not hold me again?
Will you not get mad at me?
Will you not sign your name again?
Will you not write poetry?
Will you not kiss me goodbye?

One last kiss…

Come, my child,
the time now is for me to sleep
but remember my smile
when your pain grows so deep.
Come, my child,
and we shall watch one last time
the flight of the eagles and the ravens
before my ship sets sail
to find the Safe Haven…

One last kiss
before the night becomes
the forever long sleep …
