Beyond
this grief\u2019s torrent,
beyond this pall of clouds
that conceals everlasting light,
soar gull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carry
my loving touch
upon your tattered wings
through this deluge, this steely sky
to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through hail,
through wind-swept sleet,
over these clashing waves
flecked by a sun far past this sun,
fly on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defy
holey borders
barring living from dead.
Soften your wails for the bereft.
Rejoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashes
spread in the sea,
while in eternal gleams
once more a husband and a wife
embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
