into the deep blue.

Why must I feel so anxious
Sitting here knowing
Time is slipping away

My vulnerability clinging
To every breath

I know such death
I remember the innocence

As my eyes a child
Opened a door to dream

I sit here half way grown
Wondering what it is
And has been

What witness shall stand
Beneath my grips
Of hand

When time is out of care
And my lungs cease
to believe In life

Shall I be surrendered
to the earth a shadow
Of myself

I have only a heart
No riches nor wealth

Why must I be so anxious
Time is invading my health

I wish to be everlasting
The final book Upon the shelf

Don't let me fade away
Read me out loud
Touch my pages
with loving hands

Don't let me vanish
Cherished footprints
In the sand

Time is fleeting
I'll never understand

show me now
hold fast my aching hand
never let the weight of living
Bow down to deaths command

Long live this memory
I place before you to see
Bound by these pages of me.

place now my ashes
into the deep blue sea
light a candle in the night
Now Promise you'll remember me.
