To a DUer: A Lullaby for Andy
Edited on Fri Jul-08-05 03:25 AM by Hissyspit
"Gartan Mother's Lullaby" (Traditional)

Sleep my child
For the red bee hums
The silent twilight's fall
Eeval from the grey rock comes
To wrap the world in thrall

And lying there (A leanbhan o) my child my joy my love and heart's desire
The crickets sing you a lullaby
Beside the dying fire

Dusk is drawn
And the Green Man's thorn
Is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat till morn'
Upon the starry bog

And over it all (A leanbhan o) the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune
I sing o love to you


And to Andy's family.

2. I was tearing as I typed it. Lullaby seems the only appropriate thing...
to deal with the damned dark news.

3. I'm a waterworks right now, but you know, he's not HURTING
any more. He left quietly in Termite's arms. And he's FREE NOW.

10. Kick
what else can one say?

We need to keep these posts on top to let everyone know that Andy lost his brave fight while bringing all of us together for few brilliant days and nights.

With heavy heart
