Abiding Circle

Don't let me go alone
Into that long dark night
Where nothing can exist
That hasn't paid its price

Don't let me rage against
The sorrow that is here
Or fight to overcome
The light that waits beyond

Instead hold my soft hand
Weakly closed 'round yours
And send your love with me
To ferry me across

I'll leave you here, darlin'
Standing on the far shore
Until your time should come
Until we meet again.
