A long and windy morning’s walk
The dark and restless sea welcomes and waits
The silence of a fading Autumn night
The new day’s uncertain but inviting light
The endless drift of advancing waves
Gently wipe and wash your beautiful face
Misty eyes open and offer the promise of sight
Then melt away and merge in hurried flight
A decade on you reside in splendid peace
Alive you shine in every facet of every wave
A high priestess you preform your daily rite
Golden your gown slender and slight
At peace with time, the universe and God
Gently you touch the stiffening breeze
And farewell the fading night
Your face alive with the advancing light
Mum, your spirit and love is strong
Undimmed and alive a decade on
Souring like a flimsy kite
Alive, vivid and alight
