You were my closest friend and pitied family
But alas the cosmos has beckoned your return
And your dreams expelled upon its boundless waves
But I hope that we can meet again in some other form
Where pandemonic howls do not come hither
In betwixt the merciful glimmers in the waters of Eridanus
Inside kingly lit chambers in regal Asia
Entangled in scintillating cosmic swirls
With spectral flight amidst pillars of solar dust
Within the verdant thickets of New England
Betwixt the inked letters by the authors of yore
As flakes of snow thro alien blizzards
At the spacely cusp of everything that was and everything to be
Thro your stupendous travels
Unearthing all in deep heaving aethers
And only in dream can tell of tales
Would you honor me as your solemn audience?
Be in life my cosmic messenger
And in death my ghostly shepherd!
