loss

Sun's flames reduce to embers

The sky is no longer blue

Darkness casts a silver eye

And in it I see you

Stars encrust the darkness

Among them you travel far

Still, there is a place you remain

Grasped by aching love

Deep within the ocean

Floating in the sea

Misty air surrounding

Will you come back to me?

Steady beats a bleakened heart

Empty in all but grief

Heavy is the chest surrounding

Yearning for relief

Birdsong beckons the day

Before the umbra is complete

Lithe rises the dawn

Darkness admits defeat

Shrouded by dappled light

In a kingdom free and vast

Welcomed by familiar hands

And finding peace at last

Running in the meadow

Dancing in the grass

Golden light surrounding

At least I know you're free
