Lost at Sea

As we draw near to the end,

and I approach the western clouds 

through wrinkled eyes and darkened shroud,

I would call to my dear friend - 

 

How I remember the heavy sigh 

when we left Eden - Eve and I.

Grow old, my dear, grow old with me; 

you the meadow and I the tree.

 

In my youth I tried to trace 

how minutes to hours to years would be, 

but missed the tear upon your face 

that fell to the water - lost at sea.
