Silver and Gold

If ever you have lost some one close to you, please think tonight of Mrs Frankie Inglies

SILVER AND GOLD


I close my eyes and you are there
At the bottom of my bed
Your smiling eyes are shining
You voice is in my head.
I close my eyes and hear you call
A voice I hardly hear
A chill so cold I hardly feel
Your breath upon my ear.

I close my eyes and you are there
At the bottom of my bed
They said you’re on the next Bardo
And would never stroke my head.
\And though I dare not follow there
I close my eyes and I’m aware
A voice so still I hardly hear
A chill so cold upon my ear..

You placed a rainbow
Upon my brow
What was the tale you told
How when I visit the underworld
The silver and the gold.
Do you visit in the deep of night
When bugs are sleeping and bats delight?
Your wide smile and my eyes closed
Shining
With the silver, the silver and gold.
