From the edge of the world ...

I see his last years in my dreams - 

He sits in his chair like a forgotten king - 

To my shame, I avoid his gaze - 

Yet that week, I held his poor hands - 

He looked at me from the the edge of the world where he then stood - 

I told him that I loved him - 

I know you do he said - 

I know that one day I'll stand where he stood - 

I'll hear the voices I love at the edge of the world - 

My poor hands will be held - 

The world will slip away from me - 

My chair will be my last throne -
