Non Omnis Moriar

Do not weep I will drift to hauntless sleep Lay my weary head prostrate before the awning Spread my crow black sails Against the sunset Dressed to part the veil A led parade of shades upon Death's dawning Non Omnis Moriar Not all of me shall die For I shall leave my heart with thee Before I kiss thy precious lips goodbye Until we're borne Together in the evermore My darling One final time I will take this hand in mine Drowning in brown eyes That ghost the jewelled shoreline Fate adorn me Do not mourn me For I wait beyond the gates of slumber In my Avalon In our Avalon Strength to carry on Before the great penumbra Here Plant a tree Deep upon my silent grave Think of me in spring's embrace, when sadness lingers Feeding earthen grails Fresh roots I nurture And blessed with life's rebirth I take the sacred ring from winter's finger Non Omnis Moriar Not all of me shall die Cast off all trace of doubt in me Before I kiss thy precious lips goodbye Until we're borne Together in the evermore My darling One final time I will take this hand in mine Drowning in brown eyes That ghost the jewelled shoreline Fate adorn me Do not mourn me For I wait beyond the gates of slumber In my Avalon In our Avalon Strength to carry on Before the great penumbra Here I have not gone, life's majestic song Swims on the wind that stirs autumnal leaves here Come dry thy tears, my hand is near These sterling years Have forged a bond That still, that still lives on That still lives on That still That still lives on
