Lament

The time has come to leave this place -

Never to return

Nothing's left but ashes -

My body now is spurned

Your sorrow will subside in time -

My one, true, only friend

There is one thing we can do -

To avert this bitter end

Up amongst the stars

I dwell -

Tranquillity is found

I look upon the earth -

To which all human life is bound

Alone I wander aimlessly -

For now my spirit's free

My soul exists within you as

I guide your destiny

The tears of grief you weep for me -

Through uncontrolled emotion

You have given me your all -

A life time of devotion

So come my friend take my hand -

Together we shall see

The pathways through the darkness -

For all eternity

Eternity
