Smoke drifts lazily from the embers
As we gaze at the starlit night sky
Full moon's rays light your form
Breath stolen once again....

And I shudder
And hold back the tear
As a stray thought floats by
Says you will not be here

Please, love, don't leave me
Hold my hand, hold my heart
Free my spirit to fly with yours
New flight, perfect... and divine
