Sophia (19)

As the light returns
it reminds me
how you yearned
for the end of the dark

Although it's cold
snow now melts
the ocean sends
its distant winds

You oft were cold
to be close to nature
to feel her close by
under bare foot

Now that the airwaves
are silent
of your voice
your songs remain recorded

Recorded in my mind
remain the memories
of you
and your companion

You've passed
through the dark
out of the cold
to the everlasting light

Under the Southern Cross
and the Pole Star
we now know
you, mermaid, swim

One day, she
the black one by your side,
will join you
from the Rainbow Bridge

A bright star you remain
touching the lives of many
still, even now
we will not forget
