Press play before reading.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Oh Lord
Let me rise
And meet my love again
Some day
Somewhere
Oh Lord
Help me lift my soul
To know
She still moves
Just in another form
To suddenly appear
Some day
Somewhere
I may go
For she's the Queen
Of all I hold dear
Even though
I am a seer
Oh Lord
Missing her
Still fills me with tears
Tainted with fear
Oh Lord
Now as I look for her
In the East
Singing love songs of old communion
Like a local priest
Humming and dancing real slow
As memories of her are released
Visiting places, we used to play
And venues we used to feast
Oh Lord
I just whisper
Lacerta
Rigel
Sirius
Procyon
Arcturus and
Betelgeuse
Turn your faces towards me
And crown me with heavenly starlight
To guide me
Through this long night
As I sit alone and write
Apollo strike me up
A merry tune
Filled with blessings and sacred runes
Hermes
Send word of where
She now stays
So I can worship her
Through this pain
Writing for her glory
As I share our stories
Of running in the wilderness
Amongst the badlands of covid and men
Before she drifted into infinity
Suddenly
So
Oh Lord
One day
Somewhere
When I die
Will you bring her
Back to me again
