A Word of Life

a word of hope or a word of revival
a word that can cause my survival

Please, speak to my loving heart
And never pronounce the word ‘depart’

Cool down my glowing fire
Or order my passion to retire

Feed my starving adoration 
And quench my droughty sensation

Make me a lost traveller in your sea
Or even a noble, prince or a marquee

But just speak and let me sigh
your words once before I die
