When the wind sighs
and fills your sail
and pulls your restless
soul afloat
To journey ‘cross
The sea of night
In dwindling life
And muttered hope
One final prayer
Slips your mouth
Unknown, unsaid
You breathe it out
One prayer for your journey
The prayer for the dead
Your final breath
And all is said
