In Memoriam

 

'We hereby commit our beloved
Into the eternal rest of thy kingdom
Into the dreams of thy gentle arms
Neither great nor small are we
Off into the distance we go, only to be born again
And thus we are called the far wanderers.
Though we wander the earth seeking thee
No answers are we given
Naught but shadows do we see in this troubled world
Yet we know not fear
The words of silence are known to us
And as we see the unseen
We are thee and thou art us
This far wanderer we now commit to thee'

 Rest in peace, Oliver.
