When the wind sighs <br /> <br />and fills your sail <br /> <br />and pulls your restless <br /> <br />soul afloat <br /> <br />To journey ‘cross <br /> <br />The sea of night <br /> <br />In dwindling life <br /> <br />And muttered hope <br /> <br />One final prayer <br /> <br />Slips your mouth <br /> <br />Unknown, unsaid <br /> <br />You breathe it out <br /> <br />One prayer for your journey <br /> <br />The prayer for the dead <br /> <br />Your final breath <br /> <br />And all is said<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-the-dying-3/
