no title
  
You are gone from me
To lie in sands by a frozen sea
In a far and distant land

I must stay and grieve alone
Sharing silence with your stone
Dying flowers in a shaking hand

I must leave you and journey on
My life continues though yours is gone
We are parted , forgive and understand

And all will end as it must
Our hearts and bodies turned to dust
With you in that so distant land

It is nice here
The frozen sea sparkles like fire
And the clouds are white
There is silence
There is only you
And a rock
And you
The soul of my dreams

Artur, this is a great write indeed, one with a change of writing style to what I normally see. There is much sorrow, yet peace becalms our end.

Sincerely
