Sophia (6)

As the pipes skirl
the strings resound
the voice calls
and laughter rings out

It is only too soon
before I realise
that these are memories
from years ago

You once told me
how would you cope
with losing a loved one
when the time came

Not realising -
who would -
that the loved one
would lose you

As the pipes skirl to an end
the double beat ends on E-flat
the voice fades
and the counter runs out

Your black shadow waits
but now it's you waiting,
at the Rainbow Bridge,
for her to come too
