As I slept

You whispered in my dreams

You said

That fate could never end our love

That there was no power stronger

On Heaven, Earth, or Hell



You gave to me your last soft breath

Now I pray for death

The rest of time without your touch

How I long for death



Then they came

To take you back to heaven's edge

Now soft your wings hang at your side

And the branches close around you

To hold you for all time



I held your heart

And you fell from heaven's grace

Held your gaze

But your eyes see nothing now

Felt your breath

But your voice is silent now

Death comes swift

But love never fades away
