Dear Evelyn

On the force of the wind one night
I could feel a doubt inside
That I may not return to you
And it grims me to say

Every story that I write
Pulls me further from your side
I can’t stand another night
That I can’t return to you

On the force of wind
Came men with fire
Enclosing in on us
Though we held shields high
And fought as one
I barely made it through

Now my dear I write once more
I am not yet at death’s door
Though I fear it ever close
I hold hope to be with you

The nights are ever long
I pray to be back by your side
I fall asleep to find you there
What dreams await for me

We moved in the night
And approached at dawn
And enclosed in on them
We held shields high
And fought as one
With victorious will

I hope all is well dear Evelyn
Tell my son I’m missing him
Be careful late afternoon
Lock the doors, Ailin will guard

The days here grow ever long
By night time we are famished not strong
By daylight I’ll be on border lines
Not long now, dear Evelyn

One force of wind
Approached by fire
Enclosing in on us
Though we held shields high
And fought as one
Know my ghost will wait for you
