The Promise

The Promise
Funerary flowers
The words of heroes, friends, and strangers
A wind upon the hill above our house
A unicorn running
This be her land and home forever after
So long as I’ve anything to say about it
A broken bow buried by her side
Her scimitar rests above the hearth
Where we shared many meals and laughter
In my thoughts – in my dreams
She will live always
The White Lady has taken her away
And the key to my heart follows them
It knows its true owner
The key to my door shall be useful still
A promise broken - now kept
A heart shattered - now on the mend
She shall always have a place at this table,
this hearth, and forever:
the whole of my heart
Karin, my friend – my love,
There will be no more goodbyes between us…
We shall meet again
in the House of Nature
Funerary flowers
The words of heroes, friends, and strangers
A wind upon the hill above our house
A unicorn running
This be her land and home forever after
So long as I’ve anything to say about it
A broken bow buried by her side
Her scimitar rests above the hearth
Where we shared many meals and laughter
In my thoughts – in my dreams
She will live always
The White Lady has taken her away
And the key to my heart follows them
It knows its true owner
The key to my door shall be useful still
A promise broken - now kept
A heart shattered - now on the mend
She shall always have a place at this table,
this hearth, and forever:
the whole of my heart
Karin, my friend – my love,
There will be no more goodbyes between us…
We shall meet again
in the House of Nature
