Twenty-six years are gone
Since we laughed out loud
At nonsense
We cried
You died
This is your song
One last breath, a whole life
A child born and scars torn
Love knot sealed and tied
Goddess cried, Goddess died
Twenty-six years are gone
Since I kissed your sweet cheek
Said farewell
We cried
You died
This is your song
One last breath, the sky is grey
The hungry earth, the empty hole
The velvet box is death’s own bed
Eve’s own kin is dead
Twenty-six years are gone
Since your soul passed away
To heaven
We cried
You died
This is your song
One last breath, a spirit shed
The heavens frown, an angel down
Spirit moaned, lick of flame
Grips the sky, she’s gone again
Twenty-six years are gone
Since we commended your body
To the ground
We cried
You died
This is your song
