Songs of Life
A Last Goodbye
Silky lace cobwebs sway slowly in the breeze.
Their feathery touch lights on my face.
All I can see now is what my frozen gaze can gather.
Shimmering shades of red flame in a dying sky,
My love, there is peace in the death of another day.
I'd brush the hair from your face, if I could but reach out,
but my limbs hang like willows, and I'm forced to sit here
as it falls across your eyes, eyes so deep and full of life.
I don't want to see anything but your tear streaked smile,
but the sky is calling, Heaven is reaching out to me.
I'm not sure if I'm still breathing, your face gives nothing away
as your eyes close with your upturned gaze.
Bitter are the tears that flow gently down your face.
Can you hear me as I tell you of the ways I love you?
I don't feel any pain, I don't feel anything as I look down at you,
Your arm around my shoulder.
There is a light burning within me, and if you can hear me,
Know that I will....always
