Bestow To Me These Things

Take a walk with me into the forest at twilight Drape your arm around my withering shoulders and guide us down the path to meet our gray tomorrows Warm my cool thin lips with kisses from our youth and let me gaze into the blue hot embers that made my body burn throughout our yesteryears Protect me from the frightening things I somehow don’t recall Guard the night steadfastly so I might sleep in peace with my cheek upon your chest now dusted with winter frost Pray my evening prayers and laugh with me in the morning So when the daylight begins to die we can walk hand in hand through the moonlight to embrace our eternal night
