<p><em>I Was Certain that This Time We’d Separated</em></p>
<p><em>We Both Shall Make a Complete Passage for Both Our Solitudes</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>In the Stillness of the River Styx</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Bluest of All Shadows</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Overwhelmed with the Sorrows and the Losses</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Deepening, by the Inches</em></p>
<p><em>The Laurel and the Snake Staff</em></p>
<p><em>Calling Out to the Fingerprints that Had Lost the Heat</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Outside of the Years of Fruitfulness, Embracing the Deserted Solitude</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>In the Depth of the White Harbor Inside the Souls</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Appearing, in Both Our Dreams</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And so, you can sense that strong sense of loss, can’t you?  I mean, after you’d lost that someone that you held dear, you WILL be in the darkness for a bit, because losses are always going to HIT us all, very hard!</p>
