Encircled we were but joined evermore You freely gave all that you had Hid 'neath your wings my spirit could soar And living with you made me glad Encircled we are, joined up by the gods Until I could find peace of mind You came to me, shed tears with your blood And showed me that life could be kind I grew in your love as we walked the path I learned about loving from you You came to me from pain's aftermath And taught me that love could be true And now it is time, to let you go free And love is enmeshed with the pain But one thing I know 'tis your face I'll see When once more I'm lovely again Stand and be proud, walk tall to your fate You did all you could and much more You showed a new path, I once walked with hate T'was you always helped me to soar Go on your way, I love you to death More than I'd ever have dreamed You gave me strength when faint was my breath Now walk on alone - whole, redeemed Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

This is hauntingly lovely, Keth... We all think about the song of love being of togetherness... but love is also putting another's best interests first. This parting isn't one of bitterness... but of gratitude and hope... Beautifully sung! |

Keth..this is absolutly poetically brilliant in its phrasing, and rhymes divine. As for its expression of heart...stunningly lovely in its sincerety and heart wrenchingly beautiful in what it speaks of unselfish love. So nice to see your name back in the blue. Very impressive write girlie. You're the best I've ever felt ... |
