With my pen, I grind memories into ink

Over miles and mountains

Absence is hard to describe

When is the date of return?

Back to the night

We accompanied each other

Fame and glory reduced to null

As I stand at the foot of life

I look back at what we called home

Frosty flakes stain my reflection

Our years, a boat afloat anchor-less

Has now been tied to deck

Closing the book,

I fulfill my promise to return to you.

******

Boundless love, come carry me to be with my beloved. In this life and the next....
