Adrift on the outgoing tide
While I stood on the moonlit sands
Emotions that I couldn’t hide
Streams of tears pouring through my hands
The years we had together were kind
More than that – a fairytale come true
But when nature made up her mind
Instead of me she came and took you
So, with a vow I had promised to keep
Into the ocean your ashes swim free
As the horizon brings on the new day
A man stands alone – that’s me

Such a beautifully poignant tribute to one who has passed… I hope some feels like this when I shuffle off…

Yes… I have no idea where that even came from, but sometimes our muses just run and we hope we can keep up! ;-)))
