Lament

A gentle pull like floating waves Rejoicing at the freedom found Lament for all we failed to save It echoes still far underground In caverns deep where sleeps the night Near hidden waters rippling still O’er mountains high above the light The oceans, seas, with tears we fill A song for all that we have lost A cry that carries on the wind For after Autumn comes the frost I lost the one who I called ‘friend’ Is this, at last, the final end? Is purpose yet to be revealed? There’s no one left to seek or send Whatever comes, my fate is sealed I’ll live for those who gave their lives I'll live for hope which comes with dawn With every breath I have, I’ll strive Though gone, their strength I carry on
