FREE
Barefoot in the sand,
the water licks my toes.
I look out across
endless sea-
knowing you are here with me.
I call your name
to the stars above-
I've come here to
set you free my love.
To the oceans,
to the sky-
you know this love
will never die.
The darkness wraps
around me,
the cool breeze
blowing off the sea.
Alone I stand
where we stood before,
on this soft
but rocky shore.
I have but only
silence for you-
I'm lost in a feeling
that no one
can put words to.
One last time
for you and I
to be together
on this beach.
You have gone
away so far-
and I cannot reach
that distant star.
I know this is
the last time
that I'll hold you-
I'll let you go
across the sea of blue.
So slowly and gently
I lift the lid-
and hold the urn
up to the wind.
My heart calls your name
over and over again-
As you drift
through the sky
and across the sea.
I watch as the ashes
blow far, far away-
I watch until at last
you're free.
