Requiem for a Beloved

At all times and at once one thought recurring,
A mind still stirring, a heart yearning
At once and at all times one phrase repeating,
From this Earth all are retreating
Out she slips to the future's horizon,
out with the tide does her soul ever flow
Can Garrietta come out to play?
Not til eternity, for only God does the answer know

At all times and at once do eyes mist and blur,
a spirit's sale lists, arms fall open
At once and at all times do scenes fade to grey,
dreams for tomorrow lie broken
The shoulders feel no more warm sunsets,
but they bear no more burdens either
The mind has no great mystery to ponder,
and no disease meant it to decipher

At all times and at once does the tide of time wash away footprints
At once and at all times does a son's "I remember" set new imprints
A mother and a father's love stir the echoes and fill forever's drum
A brother's little root rests at tree, a brother's champion race is run

Can Garrietta come out to play?
"Lift your heart, hers is heavy no more."
