Deidres Lament

Watch you go,
Cold as snow,
Salt and blood.
 
Graved in stone,
Old friends gone,
Tears on cheeks.
 
Gone before,
Waiting for,
Patient task.
 
Into light,
No more fight,
Last breath passed,
 
Peace at last!

Stallions charging, Foaming white, Breaking on the beach. They rise, Raise their heads,
