TRIJAN REFRAIN

This is my attempt at a Trijan, it is written in memory of a good friend, my old boxer dog Tyson (Trouty)

A TRIJAN FOR TROUT

My life has ceased, though my heart beats,

Deep my friend lies waiting,

Buried cold where the wind blows bleak,

No new dawn nor waking.

I stand alone, I'm ripped apart,

I want to still my beating heart.

     I stand alone

     I stand alone

My friend so deep and cold and dark.

My life has ceased, though my heart beats,

Goodbye my friend. Rest good,

I kneel down close but I can't reach,

So dark and deep the mud.

My breaking heart I know will mend,

The disturbed earth I'll tend,

     My breaking heart

     My breaking heart

Has nowhere for this love to send.

My life has ceased, though my heart beats,

A rhythm so forlorn,

Until perhaps that we might meet,

Then I no more will mourn.

We'll walk in dreams now you have ceased

And when I've been released.

     We'll walk in dreams

     We'll walk in dreams

Through a place of slumberous peace

Very moving, perhaps one for the arena at some point.

I agree. Definitely should go to the arena.
