The Grave....
The moon rises over the land
as those who love him gathered together.
Tears of pain fell to water the cold earth in which he was placed.

Gently the warm breeze of the nyght blows
and silence sings her song of Mourning.
The dead can no longer hear.

They place upon him their fondest memories,
and some only a simple single red rose
and then turn to leave him
submersed in their own woes.

One by one they turn to leave,
until at last
there is only one.

Her head held low
her heart breaking within
she looks down upon the closed casket
her only words spoken
heard from the soul

slowly she kneels beside her beloved
wanting nothing more than to lay down with him once more.

She cries,...
out into the nyght
her sorrow more than can she can bare

and once more looks down to him

"Come up from there"

it is you who have decided this fate
and only you who can
change this fate.

why?
Why would ye choose to return to thine own death
when life was given to thee?

Happiness ye held in your arms
twas thine own self that ye had found.
I am thine own self!
She screams to dead ears.

It is i who love thee
and it is i who will wait for thee

look about thee?
whom do ye see in the grave with thee?

None
None that i can see

tis only i that do remain

When thy sleep of torment has been enough for thee
I will be here when ye awaken.

Fear not beloved
for thou art not alone.

And with those words,
she lays down upon the cold earth
and waits...

waits for her beloved to return to her from his chosen fate.
