Long shadows

Something's broken, it won't mend:

Your shadows long from morn to dusk,

As you, into the darkness, blend,

And limbs begin to turn to dust.

Will soon be time to go beyond.

Not farewell parting, no last words.

Just one goodbye, too far prolonged,

Not understood… It seemed absurd.

I know somewhere we'll meet once more,

I hope that somewhere is above,

I'll meet your eyes through heavens door,

Or I'll make a heaven for you my love.
