Lay down,
Your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.
Sleep now,and dream
Of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
You’re only sleeping.
What can you see,
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.
And all will turn,
To silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.
Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.
Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.
What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
A pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
To carry you home.
And all will turn,
To silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.

Darling woman Mel,
Thank you for touching my heart in this way today. You know I'm going through it and I just feel so connected to you.
I wish we could drink coffee together in non white cups....I'd like that hug in person too.
Peace today and thank yous for this post.

Anne Lennox sings one mean song. Gosh, I love that gal's voice. And there's just something about this piece that makes my heart sigh.

Pumpkin cup or Frankenstein cup?
Yaknow, some moments just plain suck, dearheart.
I'm eternally glad our paths got to cross, whatever medium.
You, my dear, are a welcome presence, always.
You don't have to 'be' anything or anywhere or anyone 'cept exactly who you are, where you are, exactly as you are.
*HUGE hugs and peacefilled thoughts to you*
