Lone Piper

A Lone Piper


He stands behind

silent and still

no footsteps behind-

there is a Rose bush

planted on a hill

a withered leaf

laying for me to find -


A lone piper plays

sounds of haunting

chill

no movement of life

cutting out daylight

bites with a knife

deep into his soul

callings from the piper

in my ear he stole


Emotional love cherished

remembering the day

you perished

Tears fill my eyes for you

you stand still behind

me not seen -

is what you do


My breath it is warm

on this winters night

my love shall shelter

me from the vicious

storm

I kneel where you stand

in your invisible form


Beneath the stars the piper

sound travels across the land

you were a born fighter

forgiveness 

I do - I understand


Come closer behind stand and be free walk

 this pathway

together with me


Be no longer a slave to death

take hold of my hand

lets help set 

you're spirit free.
