With the death of pride, and by the sands of the beach’s shore, if only I could remember you better! Like a ghost you have left us, like the stars of heaven you were with us. Yet now you have left me and my thoughts together to be united forever like the lost dust of the wind. In my memories you were sweet, and in my thoughts you were kind. Like the sun of every kingdom and the glory of every mind you are with me in my thoughts though so few of you is left in me! I loved you with a love so deep that forever now seems to be just the shadow of my past where I held you in my arms. Like the dawn of all things I held you dear. Like all the moonlight of the planets I now hold your hand in the passion of my mind. For tomorrow shall come like the rain, and yesterday shall remain like the dust of heaven. Sweet Cassandra, like the rain of every cloud of dust, and by the shadow of the ever lasting night touch my hand and remember how I loved you! I will throw my heart down into the sacred dust and kiss your face in my imaginings! Oh let the worlds hold us together if even for just a moment! Like the ice which melts into the kindness of the blessed water, it is so that I love you, and it is so that you are near, no matter how the world unfolds, and no matter the powers of heaven and earth, and no matter the powers of the kingdoms of the world! For our forever is the light by which all things are seen as I dip my hands into the soil, and by the warm grace of the ocean; I cry out to the universe and to all the powers of God that I love you; with the dust of the eternal night I will shower you with the glories of my heart, and with the endless circle of my perfect passion; I will not be forgotten, but with my blessed love I will touch the ground of the shore, and I will be remembered forever!
