*************************************

There sits the bottle

By my own mortal remains

Empty as her soul

…….

By grief I was led

By betrayal most heinous

Led to the altar

…….

I float here, grey, dim

Surveying this peaceful scene

Go into the light?

….

Soon she shall awake

My dying wish to watch her

Will there be regret?

……

Light envelopes me

I drift into grey ether

Below me a sob

…..

Clouds split above me

“Beloved, come home’

Departing, I smile
