The Sending

It is upon the loss of those close to them that Caramerians recite - The Sending. All souls go to Marath, the god of the dead, for he ferries them toward the ethereal.

The Sending - excerpt from The Caramere Saga, Book 2.

In the dark and misty veil,
Where we all must one day tread,
Take her soul to the quiet place,
For all the longing dead.

If she cries for the life she lost,
Tell her I am here,
To remember her forever now,
So she will never fear.

For we all must one day take her path,
That leads to their grace,
For all the gods are awaiting now,
But know this just in case.

I pray for you, my dear, dear friend,
And hope your soul is ever well,
I’ll miss your laugh, your love, your heart, dear friend,
More than you’ll ever tell.
