Sadie Compton: hear it

(for Kendrick) --adapted from the writings of the great Kahlil Gibran--

I begged for you so many times
Although you never came
I sought you in the dark of night
In sorrow and in shame
I called you in a million songs
You listened not to me
You hear me now, embrace my soul
I'm yearning to be free

I hear the distant singing now
of sweet Eternity
I am the sighing of the sea
I sing in harmony
The laughter of the field, it rings
The tears of Heaven cease
My earthly sorrows fall away
For now I am at peace

Oh now I am at peace.
