There is no threnody for utter darkness, Nor dirge for nothingness, nor song for silence. I sing to you in all your piercing presence. You are not gone, but haunting in your nearness. My pain is unrelenting in its starkness, Unmerciful. Your ever-present absence Becomes the heart of me, my grieving essence, As I hold you in the shadow of your stillness. Ah, my darling! I'll not let you go Though years pass through the chamber of my sorrow And memory alight upon my will. Sweet winds may through my open windows blow, Yet I will sing to you upon the morrow And dance with you across the sunlit sill.
