Think of me

Maybe not as I am

It may be too soon

But as I was, as we were

As we crested the waves

And contested the outcome

As we laughed with the victor

And drank deeply in vanquished's name

As we tasted life's offerings

And made offerings of our own

Think of our time together

Think of me

 

Think of me

Maybe not as I am

For it may be too soon

But think of me as I will be

Joined in the earth's waters

Think of me as I wonder time

To give some small protection

To yours and mine.

Fear not our next meeting

It will be as it always was

Laughing with the victorious

And drinking to the other

We will always sample life

It will be new and exciting

Think of me when you come here

Think of me on water

Think of me.

 

Think of me

As I am

It is but one stage

Of the endless circle,

We move onto the next

Often in stately progression.

The time of arrival unknown

The leaving usually the same.

Seldom are there choices

We are willing to make

Fewer yet have the courage.

Choices were made

And I'm still laughing with the victor

And toasting the vanquished

And we will soon

Do so together

I will think of you as I wait

And ride the waves

And I hope you will

Think of me.
