My Requiem - Trees of Eternity

Light

Blistering, so bright

Re-align my core

Lenses open wide

Coming into form

The imprint of a life

Too late you’re calling out my name

To raise me up out of my grave

Alive in memory I’ll stay

If you shun these waters where I lay

Night

Curtains coming down

Into the shade I stray

Losing all I’ve found

To my own dismay

My season has come to an end

Too late you’re calling out my name

To raise me up out of my grave

Alive in memory I’ll stay

If you shun these waters where I lay

Leave me to rest

Too drained to rise

To try to detect

Any light at the end of the tunnel…

Too late…
