Friends who linger here with me ~
Who are you, if not my humble heart,
my mortal breath, my life's sweet song?
Knowing this moment is but a child of time,
let us go then, you and I,
together,
as this day quickly is undone
in the pink-blue shadows,
into the last ray of sun...
And let there be time ~
time to turn back and descend the stairs
on dusty memories' threadbare tread,
on little clouds and whorls of anticipation,
in one last remembered revelation,
with love, with no regret,
with gentle contemplation...
How swiftly the moon races to reach this night!
So come, hold my hand beneath the stars'
brief light, and we will offer fervent gratitude
to God and to Fate...
for they kindly made us 'friends'.
