Motionless like a deer in blinding light I stood transfixed by sorrow, unable to move To see beyond my loss her body's flight To the sanctuary of eternal love. Now silently I call and in the still And pain-filled night aware of Thy reply There surges from the deepest seat of will A gratitude that shall not fail nor die. Yet I must overcome the weight of years That press upon this envelope of flesh To conquer my desires and my fears Lest they my striving heart and soul enmesh And I unable to breath and gasp for air Am drowned by grief and haunted by despair.
