Elegy on Her Death

 

The mighty nature gave me a heart break,

The mighty nature took you away;

Is this the rule of the game,

Is this just the way

In the game of seek and hide,

I kept my senses open and wide;

You are still gone away,

Before even your hair turned grey

I wish I could hold on to you,

I wish I could pull you near;

The feelings that you are gone,

Tears me apart oh dear!

I can't see you even to the horizon,

Though the vision is clear and bright;

Unforseen outrage of nature,

And you are out of sight

In the game of seek and hide,

I kept my senses open wide;

You still managed to sneak away,

Never to return to our dismay

I bemoan your demise, 

I'll  pray for your eternal rest;

I'll cherish all the memories,

 And will exist at your behest.
