I remember one bright day
I met a Griffin as he prayed
He taught me much of many things
Of Constantines and Saturn’s rings
I remember one grey day
We sought shelter from the rain
I told him then of what could be
Together we’d live to see our Spring
I remember one sweet day
It seemed that things would be okay
We knew at last what we were
Two beings entwined in personhood
I remember one bleak day
The Griffin said I mustn\'t stay
Things were getting out of hand
No time for dreams of promised lands
I remember one dark day
A weeping Griffin turned away
He said the world was much too large
And darkness blighted all the stars
I remember one hateful day
I saw a Griffin\'s wings decay
Oh tell me where his spirit flew
That I may go and join him too
I live now in too-long days
Lesser now my soul does weigh
A shadow now I barely cast
How much longer must I last?
I live now in lonely nights
Yet another gone from sight
Where once were many now are few
Persons silent and subdued
