It takes forever
to explore the stars,
but not long
to understand Spring's Grace,
death is sealed
like an oyster's shell,
tomorrow's truth
behind once more. 

Come back 
to meet your dreams,
it's not too late,
stay strong as youth,
stay restless on your way,
the prayer has been said,
the service has been read,
and Spring is rising
to behold the fate.

Forgiveness must be borne
through grief and pain,
we shall subsume 
the presence of this world,
remember, there is the Love
of a solemn space,
enthralling our hearts
day after day.
