Reminiscence

The shadow mournfully followed 
In the wake of my farewell, 
Did I not love you enough 
Were my words not true? 
 
The eternal knot undid itself 
And all the things you meant to me 
Flew away in clouds of doubt 
And the chill of mounting indifference. 
 
I dreamed of you, 
Our world colourful, 
A sacred isle of wonder, 
This place of love I called my land. 
 
Carry me gentle shadow 
Breaking the waves of promises gone, 
Whisper a prayer behind me 
Of this pilgrim leaving the bitter shore.

My boat song
