go then my beloved brother
for that time has drawn
ever near and parting is
of this, now, time
this dreaded moment
which cannot delay
go then and know
the glorious answer
of our hearts desires
see the mystery
and claim it as yours
for it is not to share
though i would hold your hand
all the way
and know there will always
be you here within me
a place to rest on earth
in one who loved you brother
until i may one day
follow
take with you the love
of lost childhood
the joy of sunlit mischief
of creative yearning
and toil and sweat
and blood spilled
upon the play of life
and leave my tears
and sadness here.
and away you....
....now
swiftly to where it is....
strong and meek and pure
in essence
along your way
beloved soul
to your future
that better place
beyond understanding
