Assorted Poems - 5. Forever Eternal

Sleep soundly my friend,
for you have earned it.
Let the eternal velvet of the endless night enfold you,
And wrap its warm and comforting embrace around you.

Let your weary soul slip into the darkness,
And drift in a land where peace and solitude reign eternal.
Where you can rest from your trials and tribulations,
and the sins of the waking world are washed away,
And your battle scars can heal.

This world is yours for your own pleasure,
And be not troubled by the question of mortality,
For you are beyond that now,
You are Immortal.
Or at least in the minds and hearts of those left behind.

And till the end of days shall we,
The ones still here, the ones left behind,
carry the banner of your memory.
To each their own experience of your personality and goodwill,
And so wherever we may drift and whatever we may do,
We will carry these gifts from you,
Forever Eternal.
