Endings
The wheel turned, cycle ending,
No more, no more my will bending.
A final parting, ties severed,
Stomach void, heart empty.
No more to run to His call,
No more bound in His thrall.
Head must rule where heart cannot,
Hands must now loose the knot
As
the year old and grey,
Passes
on, its debts to pay.
So
the yearnings that lingered on,
Now
must part, now begone!
From each sweet time , keep the good.
Part only with what I should.
Fond memories stored apart,
Not allowed to tear my heart.
Those
other times, when were they?
Gone,
departed, no more I pray.
Vague,
in the mists of time,
Exorcised
by the power of rhyme.
As
the New Year grows in time,
Now
submissive, stay in line.
Obedient
to He who cares,
Remembering
in
my prayers.
Slowly
now submissive heart,
Beat
gentle, be not apart.
Rest
now within His care,
Trust
that there is love to spare.
Ending
now, dreams fading,
Eldritch
shadows, darkly shading.
Memories
of times so fey,
Gone
in time, end of day.
Wounds
cleansed, cauterised,
Borne
in honour, thusly prized.
In
my heart compassion reigns,
Triumphant
now over pain.
Endings
ended, travail cease,
Now
my friends seek surcease.
Lay
me down at Master’s feet,
Ask
humbly once more me greet.
