Where the River meets the sea

I am profoundly touched as you move away
And the flowers that we used to sense
Have darkened and bent over into a breeze with change
Be guided by the secrets that were treasures
And the doubts that were food to inspiration
Where we were found

Your soul is my heart
And your pain ingrained as my sorrow
As I am now your driver on a sunny day
I can hear you, see you and feel your presence
That will now forever be me

Each day is extended in your absence
As tears become you, like emblems
Close to my cheek where you once rested
Truth escapes with you
And wisdom bravely sings a trilogy
Composed in notes, melody and rhyme
Where passion and frailty are now held together

The drum rattles
As the brushes are dragged across its skin
And the piano fills the space with an airy sound
A minor key of melancholy and romance
Brought together in a tragic verse.
