Beyond the Deep

And here, here you stand
In the hollow of the fairy tree
Smiling down at Holly
Holding Ben's young hand

Vital..so present...
In this photograph
I seek

But this image cannot
Chain you here
No matter that we bleed

Now...look deeper into
Deep green eyes
Look deep beyond the deep
I see it now so plainly
And you were never ours
To keep
