Nothing Left Undone

How then did you leave In the silken escape Of solitude With nothing left undone Tired must have been your bones And veiled your eyes To the cataract concession Of a life long on colorful characters You gave your gracious gift of goodbye Dialing up those who would miss you most In the hours shared with the meriful moon The finality of farewell in your voice Nothing left undone, ever your way Regrets wound into balls of yarn So to stitch a warmed shoulder soft When it is your hand, my longing to hold How then you slid away without the everyday soldiers Saluting and standing guard for your heart's surrender Failed the cannon fanfare, no medals pinned Commemorating your courageous and heroic battle Saving the slender slivers of your last breath to be kind By comforting those you sent from your side As not to witness sleep steal you for Heaven's sake Bravely sacrificing yourself to silence of the wee hours Nothing left undone, words whispered Into the ears of the brand new namesake babe And all your own babies grown and gilded Like a perfect picket fence What gave you presence of mind Choosing not the endless parade of passerbys To mark what journey's end might behold You saved your barely there breath to blow a kiss Why alone was it you set sail from me I'm convinced you rode the waves of peaceful purpose To find your much needed rest Your selfless actions, staying true to your design Nothing left undone You loved and love encompassed all
