A Requiem for ther passing of your daughter, three years ago |
1000 Nights And Days Underground (she passed away three years ago...a requiem on the passing of your daughter) Lightning, and you were gone, alone The sound of night wings flying, bumping In a dark cave, moonless, starless, lightless Wandering, trying to retrace so many steps Trying to find the way back To something familiar To a world with light From where even the shadows have failed I could hear your voice echoing In the distance of the cold depth and stone Impervious, bleeding upon the rock The sacred ways of the earth interrupted, Forever I too am bleeding, For your soul, your essence I will be the grasses in the Spring I will be the bud, The clearing in the midst The distant indistinguishable light I am at the entrance calling your name I can see the light of the sun And feel the heat of the moon But I do not know the way I call your name again and again The Spirit mother of the great earth leans upon my shoulders Whispering, to lean deeply into the darkness, To look for you where sight is lost To stumble and fall with you, again and again Until, your hand is in my hand Until dreams of molten silver return And we can retrace your steps Eyes adjusting To the magnificent and infinite light |
