In
the night a thought came to me,
As moon shadows fell upon a hill,
The
sadness in my heart I didn’t see,
And
her spirit won’t let me be,
Like the bedsheets that lie still –
Then
I reached across an empty bed,
And then, tears fell upon my pillow!
O
God the memories in my head,
When we made love under the willow
While
the stars shone and spread
Their colors were blue and yellow.
I’m
here! I know you’re coming to see
All my sadness – my broken will,
And
to look at this brokenness in me!
“Dear God! Her spirit,” Let me be,
O
dear heart be still, please be still!
