Oceans deep
drowning in  sleep.
Frantic darkness unclear
I will not leave you to despair.
Take my hand
I will lead you into the clear air,
breathe deep
and be at ease.
Friends for life,
soul mates never ending,
I will always and forever
in life or spirit suspending
hold you in times
either quiet or crime
close to my heart
where my love will never part.
