A brook of life
December 23, 2011
Frail mermaid with a tail to shed
To join the land of walking dead
Shrugging off a wild roaring sea
Silently kissed, parted with me
οοο
Walking along on many a thorn
Her new feet crimson and torn
She turned and gave me a smile
As I walked behind her a while
οοο
I walked behind, beside and along
With a heart heavy but so strong
And as I kissed her softly goodbye
Many a tear would fill her eye
οοο
Streaming past her pieces of me
Reached out in shredded agony
On I walked though hearing her cry
The heart sometimes chooses to die
οοο
They cried and raved but alas
Silent and still she left me pass
A dark shadow her face did cross
As we both sighed, cried the loss
οοο
The path went winding and steep
From waking walk to sullen sleep
Puddles of rain, a brook, a river
But the ocean had left me forever
οοο
I carved my life in running water
On wooden trunks with a splinter
And all that is there now to see
Is a sense of a fading melancholy
οοο
