in the event parent 
(recording such a mood iii)

when first we met you were the one who dried me
then blessed water flowed while you stood beside me
when left and right hands met in prayer your god eyed me
then on out in the event to you was tied me

when last we spoke the wind was still inside me
then you were still above ground to guide me
when you went ill you wanted me bedside thee
then i didn’t know how long before i’d be

when the day came that life itself untied me
then your day came that same and denied me
just when i thought no breath was left to sigh me
then you took the wind and knocked it outside me

when i caught wind i was a glassy-eyed me
then for the first in a long time cried me
when it hit me you wouldn’t be the one who dried me
then i realized no more to you was tied me

when last we spoke the wind was still inside me
then you were still that day with your god bedside thee
when you told him below instead of beside me
then was your way of saying put the wind behind me
