	My heart is full today
	For the recently departed
	Of sorrow and of sympathy
	Into that land uncharted
	The old man turned away from me
	The stairway he ascended
	I heard his struggle through the night
	with Saturn’s hand extended
	All those nights when you can’t sleep
	Your heart and mind is racing
	Are you standing on that bridge
	Which way are you facing?
	I stared upon his body as
	My soul was filled with wonder
	I stayed there frozen in one place
	I could not be pulled asunder
	All those nights when you can’t sleep
	Your heart and mind is racing
	Are you standing on that bridge
	Which way are you facing?
	I’d sent him upstairs with a kiss
	Now he lay in light of silver
	It seemed to me I saw that bridge
	That he had taken over
	Should I make the move to him?
	He wasn’t mine for claiming
	I witnessed all there was to see
	And withdrew without the naming
	When I knew that he had been
	So much more than sleeping
	I stayed with him the afternoon
	In a kind of vigil keeping
	All those nights when you can’t sleep
	Your heart and mind is racing
	Are you standing on that bridge
	Which way are you facing?
	My heart is full today
	For the recently departed
	Of sorrow and of sympathy
	Into that land uncharted.
