Sophia (18)

New Year is here
the Epiphany
has opened
many an eye

Every now and again
you look over
my shoulder
and smile at me

It is now two months
since you swam away
on the midnight tide
under the northern stars

Every now and again
you visit us
reminding us of
what you once were

Uist is empty
but your voice lives on
and what you created
remains with those you loved

The light is returning
with the winter gales
you would have heaved
a sigh of relief

Your companion awaits
your return, one day,
longer than she might know
but assured - at the Rainbow Bridge
