Lonely horizon

Lashings of wind and rain

Collide with the window pane

As waves of energy speak to our souls

Of pain of old

We now navigate

Over our morning coffee

Speaking of how alone she was

With only the comfort of a warm stone

To keep her safe at night

Makes me weep so much

Within these hollowed out spaces

Ocean deep

Tell me that my suffering was not all in vain

Please

For otherwise this refrain of loss

Is too heavy

And may drown me

Instead by your loving presence

Hold me here

Even if only within the silence

Of truths that fall between the crevices

Of conversation

For without you here

My remembering may fail

As recollections and realisations

Fall into hollow ground

While all around the lashings

Of wind rain surround me

Held captive here

By so many old losses

Obscuring my vision

Deep inside this lonely horizon
