After the Last

Here at the last,
My love.
Soon to that vast 
Unknown.
So close to the summit 
But slowing.
Whispers urge your going. 

Give up the fight,
My love.
The night can be friend 
Not foe.
Some battles are won by leaving
Or letting go.
 
Roots will come greet us, 
Weaving a blanket
Midst rock and loam
And forests will feed us,
Serving a banquet
Of seed and cone.

Never alone. 

And when it’s my last
My love
I will hold fast 
To love.
And dreams of embrace,
A gathering place 

Where roots will come greet us, 
Weaving a blanket
Midst rock and loam.
And forests will feed us,
Serving a banquet
Of seed and cone.

Never alone, never.
Never, never, alone. 
After the last,
My love. 

Dedicated to all those that have lost a loved one and to my father, Alasdair Macdonald.  Oct 10, 2020
