Oh, light, <br />Please encompass this darkness <br />That whisks its tail through the path <br />That separates me and her. <br /> <br />Oh, tides, <br />Please not be angered <br />And dance slowly with yourself to moon music <br />So I may swim safely back to her. <br /> <br />Oh, sky, <br />Please let the rains down <br />To extinguish these infernos <br />So they may not devour my soul. <br /> <br />Oh, time, <br />Please not torture her soul, <br />Go gently on her and kiss her <br />So I can remain changeless for her. <br /> <br />Oh, love, <br />I will hold you against me dearly <br />So you will not be killed in this horror, <br />If you die, <br />I die, <br />I depend on you the most. <br /> <br />Let me find my way across those dark dales, <br />Past the black, swallowing waters <br />To swaying grasses <br />And her standing in them. <br />Salvation.<br /><br />K.
