I have come to where the deep words are
Spoken with care. There is no more to hide.
I toss away the cold stance of my fear
And move O far, far out to be beside
One who owns all language in extremes
Of death. We watch the coming-in now tide.
We have lived through the nightmares death presumes
To wound us with. We faced the darkest place.
Death the familiar enters all our rooms.
We wear its colour. Its mask's on our face.
But not for long. It's good to let tears run,
There is the quick, the nerve, also the grace
Of death. It brings our life into the sun
And we are grateful. Grief is gracious when
It takes the character of this kind one,
This gentle person. We re-live his life
And marvel at the quiet good he's done.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
