Pascha by Sydney Krivenko / Sydney Krivenko

Pascha

My first friend of total devotion,
graceful beauty in black and white,
my every thought and desire, too,
my pride and joy, my dream come true
no end to your learning, no end to your love,
full of joy your greeting from above,
after I had left you to cross the sea,
where you could not come with me;
full of regrets were those last years,
lonely and sad, without you near –
I knew how much we missed,
all the things that could exist,
only with you by my side
now, there is a candle burning
day and night for you,
asking your forgiveness and
anything I would do
to have you dancing around me once more,
see you flying after a stick along the sandy shore –
a master of every command I gave,
performed to perfection,
reading every thought in my head
those precious years I took away
only in my memory they will now stay
