To the Face I Never Knew

As the curtain closes before our eyes
I see where my memory of you lies
And looking back upon the emptiness
Like wand'ring in arid wilderness

In memory you seem so far away
Like a rabid rose that's grown astray
Though blood us binds, as gods of old,
It all ran sour before the cold

Should I ever wish 'twere diff'rent?
To aspire of love, a one inherent?
To call you blood, and not just bound
By that which keeps us 'pon hallowed ground?

I wish you well on this new flight
And may your face be graced with Light
Though your flame never lit my face
I still hope you'll find the Sacred Place
