Dísa's Prayer

I have written and recorded a song called "Dísa's Prayer," which imagines a moment of reflection and prayer in the life of the main character in my last book The Sorrow Stone.



Dísa's Prayer 

So these are the ways of love, 
the body is not the soul when we are gone. 

The fire inside the hull, 
now it is warm, the air is cold. 

I hold the torch, 
his last word to me. 

We were not enough 
But I am here and he is gone. 

Will he let me be with him?
