my prince sleeps

(dedicated to Mark Frankel)

My Prince
so sound and balanced
this shadow of beauty that surrounds us
the endless dance of night and fire
shadows in the mist of passion and life

sleep my prince sleep

the conclave is over for you my love
enter limbo for final death has come and gone
this sadness that has taken your city
we shall call the waves of silence

sleep my dear prince sleep

you guided us through the battles
you showed us the light of peace
forever in the night we call to you
our prince... our leader

so sleep my dear prince sleep

the city lights for you now
we yearn for your return
so sleep my beloved prince sleep
you are our guides
and we shall miss you

so sleep my prince...
