none so rare as deathbed words

none so rare as deathbed words
slip into ears from a whispering breath
as i lay alone in my wardrobed clothes
but from your voice a spark does glow
igniting passions before my leave

tell me of our past and what we were
were we as heroes deep in the fight
or just folk of everyday plain(?)
were we as gallant in our blazing paths
or just we in our everywe world(?)

hush of our children and their's again
gather them around close to hear
the story of who's blood flows
through veins of us and us past
and how we spilt scarlet fresh

of all these things i wish said
and of things remembered upon this bed
of living and love, of sleep and death
i want most to come from your lips
something of you, i never knew
