Fiona McCann
A Farewell


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

ONLY in my deep heart I love you, sweetest heart.
Many another vesture hath the soul, I pray
Call me not forth from this. If from the light I part
Only with clay I cling unto the clay.

And ah! my bright companion, you and I must go
Our ways, unfolding lonely glories, not our own,
Nor from each other gathered, but an inward glow
Breathed by the Lone One on the seeker lone.

If for the heart’s own sake we break the heart, we may
When the last ruby drop dissolves in diamond light
Meet in a deeper vesture in another day.
Until that dawn, dear heart, good-night, good-night.

Sweet, Fiona. Very sweet. And very touching. Have you said farewell to someone?

Been saying good bye to everything all my life :p Thanks for the sweetie.

Yeah... but surely there's a good few 'hellos' in there too, no?
