Thus, thy love lost.

Thus, thy love lost

Cast unto the shore

And through casting lost

As any pebble I have warmed

Between my hands before

Through tumult crashing down

Loves weight to erode

The lip speaks its death

Never destiny sought

Nor to control

One track of footsteps in the sand

But I am no burden held aloft

By heavenly or loving hand

My feet my only carriage

My burden borne

Alone to stand

And stand he must

My soul implores
