Sorrow

sorrow
for so swiftly the forest grew
a painful game that rests
upon this shameless moon 

one mocking bird flew out of sight
as shaddows could not follow in its flight

o the agony , o what painful regret
where two stars bound to meet
time and time again

the stream had passed
for this flow may remain

as strrong as feathers bend
peek over the top and you will see me there
o come along dearest friend

we shall live till the end
 look me up at oceans bay

the tides had swamped me away
the boat has sailed
never found but failed

though you say nothing
 it's clear the pain in those blind eyes

countless days
endless nights
 pray you see me pray i'm there

                                                                              - chrissie harmse
