'Tis no grave |
---|
'tis no grave my lady, our parting
for what is death but rebirth
and rebirth but transcendence
all but stations on the journey
of our palpitating hearts?
Fret not, for even expired
my body interred
below the soft covers
of our beloved mother,
burnt to cinders
and scattered to the winds,
or fed in pieces to the wild birds
of the high mountains
yet will I love you as certain
as thou held'st thine head
against my breast, thine
mouth against mine own
in absolute and profound surrender
and sure as I laide on thy pillow
mine head, quotidian inquietudes
and the half of our compact
fashioned as a hollow heart
for safety's keeping
Shed no tear for me
for what of distance
betwixt kindred souls?
No... 'tis no grave my lady
that calls for black and mourning,
this brief respite from our travail
but a cradle for maturity
a chance, to look afresh
and reflect, introspect,
perform the works of God
God who loves us all
but most resplendently thee
through the vessel that I am
Thine eidolon in aeternum,
