Silver Embrace

Under the stars,
So still, and so calm.
I don't know where you are,
Finally I see you’re too far-gone.

Your eyes are wide, and clouded,
Full of sadness and full of love.
They were once shrouded,
But no more, as you rise high above.

The moon, it smiles,
As arms carry you away from me.
Taking you a thousand miles,
So far, I can't see.

The love it shows,
Revealing a silver face.
The touch no one knows,
The wonderful silver embrace.

When you die,
You die with all but grace.
As the ones who live cry,
As you're carried far away.

You disappear,
Yet there lays your face.
Cradled, with no tears,
In that simple silver embrace.
