Under a dying sun, even the winds were still
Everything was still, as they are in moments of reproachment
The last acts
The last graces
The last smiles
The last emotions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A parent placing their child into bed
A final lullaby
A final story
A final smile ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Will we dream?"
"Close your eyes, my beloved."
"I love you."
"I will love you forever."

Don't be sad they are gone.
Be happy they were there.

Now close your eyes.
