A departure
A Supernatural Shade
The skies of paradise glimmering an eternal shining blue
Bright umbrella forests of fragrant trees grow glowing
Slip and weave through the waving boughs throwing
A supernatural shade,
And the grass a lustrous emerald green
The grass is forever emerald green,
Temporal flesh costumes of blood and bone
Lost long ago to a blessed Amnesia Sea
Shall we sing for you my friend, a soliloquy,
Now free of all that crossed and barred
The free paths of light and dark once sought to tread
Depart at last this world ill starred
So scarred with wish and want with held
Wonder no more what dread misspelled
No saviour to take your place and go instead,
There where may you meet all your soul's desire and soar
To flights beyond this merely seeming ire and roar,
Like skies of paradise glimmering an eternal shining blue
Bright umbrella forest of fragrant trees grow glowing
Slip and weave through the waving boughs throwing
A supernatural shade . . .
