The Aftermath

 The waves carry me gently to the shore

Past the shadows haunting the sea

They look unblinking but see no more

In the Reaper's Carriage no space for me

Receding clouds bid me farewell

And the faint glow of a rising sun
Proves false what the seers foretell
The night has passed I fear none

The shallow waters tell no lies

The wind whispers a soothing lullaby

In that comfort I close my eyes

Let the current bring me to you as you pass by

Moments flee and time loses meaning

I drown and float in between screaming

When I awake in an embrace firm and warm 

In a meadow as you cradle me in your arms

Your voice is soft and you haven't aged a day

We'll stay here till we are old and gray

I reach for your lips when you say to me

"Rest easy, my love. You are home with me."
