[創作] Summoned

[spacedunce5 (讀不完的書)]

(I've come a long way for you.)
(Are you ready to go?)

So many things to do, so many
accounts to settle, so much yet to say
to my children . . . must we go
now?

(The forest whispers no sound.)
(You've seen my signs; it's time to go.)

Yes, we've known each other for a while now,
haven't we? I comfort those you take away
too quickly. They give me their last words,
and I deliver them. I make them remembered.

(And each time we meet, I tell you: Soon.)
(Each time we meet: A counting clock.)

I don't want to go! What will my
kids eat? Who will guide them
through life's narrow straits?
And what if they don't remember?
What if I fade away?

(The universe takes care of your kids.)
(Love will make them remember.)

Let me have one last moment with them;
let me pass down one more ring;
let me soften my leaving;
let me cuddle them.

(Let them hold your hand.)
(We shall have gone, but your departing voice will remain.)
