With my first breath, I become
to wander till the last
to be and be and be some more
time slow at first, soon fast
And with his last draw of this world's breath
an orphan I become
His time well spent I take my place
to hear my distant drum
Dark dying thoughts once swallowed me
like harpies chattering on the wind
But with the truth of death fresh at my door
I greet him as a friend
Together we shall walk and talk
and leaves and stars will fall
I will see the patterns unfold
once hidden revealing all
